If I Were A Carpenter Chords & Lyrics - Johnny Cash

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

If you were a carpenter, and I were a lady,
I'd marry you anyway, I'd have your baby.

If a tinker was my trade, Would I still find you
I'd be carrying the pot you made, following behind you.

[F]Save my love through [G]loneliness, [C]save my love for [G]sorrow,
[G]I'm given you my [F]ownliness, [C]come give your to[G]morrow.

If I were a miller, and I milled wheel grindin,
would you miss your colored blouse, and your soft shoe shinin

If you were a miller, and wheel grindin,
I'd not miss my colored blouse, and my soft shoe shining.

Save your love through lonliness,…

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
