Johnny Cash - If I Were a Carpenter (feat. June Carter Cash): chords

             G        D                A
If I were a carpenter, and you were a lady,
                   G      D                   A
would you marry me anyway, would you have my baby?
               G        D              A
If you were a carpenter, and I were a lady,
              G      D                   A
I'd marry you anyway, I would have your baby.

             G           D               A
If a tinker was my trade, would I still find you?
                     G            D             A
I'd be carrying the pots you made, following behind you.

Chorus:
 G                      A         D
Save your love through loneliness,
                        A
save your love through sorrow.
              G         D                A
I gave you my oneliness, give me your tomorrow

If I were a miller, and a mill wheel grinding
Would you miss your coloured blouse,
and your soft shoe shining?
If you were a miller, and a mill wheel grinding
I'd not miss my coloured blouse,
and my soft shoe shining.

Chorus

If I worked my hands in wood,
would you still love me?
I'd answer you 'yes I would'.
And would you not be above me?
If I were a carpenter, and you were a lady,
I'd marry you anyway, I would have your baby.
