	  		A 
            G 
If I were a carpenter 
D              A 
And you were a lady 
                   G 
Would you marry me anyway? 
D                 A 
Would you have my baby? 
 
If a tinker was my trade 
Would you still find me? 
Would you carry the pots I made 
Following behind me 
 
G                      A 
Save your love through loneliness 
D                      A 
Save your love through sorrow 
              G 
I gave you my only-ness 
D              A 
Give me your tomorrow 
 
If I were a miller 
And a mill wheel grinding 
Would you miss your colored blouse? 
And your soft shoes shining 
 
Save your love. 
 
If I worked my hands in wood 
Would you still love me? 
Would you answer me, "Yes, I would," 
And not be above me? 
 
If I were a carpenter 
And you were a lady 
Would you marry me anyway? 
Would you have my baby? 
 
Save your love.
