Tim Hardin / Johnny Cash
| D | C | |
| If I were a | carpenter |
| G | D | |
| and you were a | lady, |
| D | C | |
| Would you marry me | anyway? |
| G | D | |
| Would you have my | baby? |
| D | C | |
| If a tinker | were my trade |
| G | D | |
| would you still | find me, |
| D | C | |
| carrying the | pots I made, |
| G | D | |
| following be | hind me. |
| C | D | |
| Save my love through | loneliness, |
| C | D/F# | |
| Save my love for | sorrow, |
| D | C | |
| I'm givin' you my | onlyness, |
| G | D | |
| Come give me your's to | morrow. |
| If I worked my hands in wood, |
| Would you still love me? |
| Answer me babe, "Yes I would, |
| I'll put you above me." |
| If I were a miller |
| at a mill wheel grinding, |
| would you miss your color box, |
| and your soft shoe shining? |
| Save my love... |
| If I were a carpenter |
| and you were a lady, |
| Would you marry me anyway, |
| Would you have my baby? |
| Would you marry anyway, |
| Would you have my baby? |
