verse 1 

       C#m                              B 
Let us now praise a carpenter and the things that he made 
        A                        B 
And the way that he lived by the tools of his trade 
       C#m                          B 
I can still hear his hammer singing ten penny time 
A                              B 
Working by the hour till the day he died 


E 
Oh he was tough as a crowbar quick as a chisel 
B                    C#m       B 
Fair as a plane and true as a level 
E 
He was straight as a chalkline and right as a rule 
B                                         C#m         B 
He was square with the world he took good care of his tools 


verse 2 

         C#m                              B 
He said anything that's worth cuttin' down a tree for 
     A                          B 
Is worth doin' right don't the Lord love a two by four 
          C#m                           B 
Well they asked him how to do something he'd say just like Noah built the ark 
            A                            B 
You got to hold your mouth right son and never miss your mark 


E 
Oh he was tough as a crowbar quick as a chisel 
B                    C#m       B 
Fair as a plane and true as a level 
E 
He was straight as a chalkline and right as a rule 
B                                         C#m         B 
He was square with the world he took good care of his tools 


verse 3 

      C#m                               B 
Oh he worked his hands in wood from the crib to the coffin 
        A                            B 
With a care and a love you don't see too often 
         C#m                         B 
He built boats out of wood big boats working in a shipyard 
 A                         B 
Mansions on the hill and a birdhouse in the backyard 


E 
Oh he was tough as a crowbar quick as a chisel 
B                    C#m       B 
Fair as a plane and true as a level 
E 
He was straight as a chalkline and right as a rule 
B                                         C#m         B 
He was square with the world he took good care of his tools
