[Verse 1]
            C         G               D
If I were a carpenter, and you were a lady
                  C       G                  D
Would you marry me anyway? would you have my baby?
              C           G                D
If a tinker were my trade, would you still find me
               C         G            D
Carrying the pots I made, following behind me?

[Chorus]
C                    D          G                     D
Save my love through loneliness, save my love through sorrow
D                  C        G            D      D
 I've given you my onliness, give me your tomorrow

[Verse 2]
               C             G                 D
If I worked my hands in wood, would you still love me?
                  C          G              D
Answer me, babe: "yes I would, I'd put you above me"
            C      G                  D
If I were a miller, at a mill wheel grinding
                    C           G                 D
Would you miss your coloured box and your soft shoes shining?

[Chorus]
C                    D          G                     D
Save my love through loneliness, save my love through sorrow
D                  C        G            D      D
 I've given you my onliness, give me your tomorrow

[Verse 3]
D            C         G               D
 If I were a carpenter, and you were a lady
                  C       G                 D
Would you marry me anyway? would you have my baby?

[Chorus]
C                    D          G                     D
Save my love through loneliness, save my love through sorrow
D                  C        G            D      D
 I've given you my onliness, give me your tomorrow
C                    D          G                     D
Save my love through loneliness, save my love through sorrow
D                  C        G            D      D
 I've given you my onliness, give me your tomorrow
C  G            D      D
    Give me your tomorrow
