[D]If I.. were a ca[C]rpenter[G]and you were a la[D]dy,
[D]would you marry me a[C]nyway? [G] Would you have my b[D]aby?

[D]Carrying the p[C]ots I made [G]following be[D]hind me.


(Chorus)

S[C]ave my love through lo[D]neliness,S[G]ave my love for s[D]orrow,

[D]I'm given you my o[C]wnliness, [G]Come give your to[D]morrow.

[D]Answer me babe, "Y[C]es I would, [G]I'll put you ab[D]ove me."
