D          C    G           D
would you marry me anyway?   Would you have my baby?

D      C       G          D
If a tinker were my trade    would you still love me?

D       C      G        D
Carrying the pots I made    following behind me.


(Chorus)

 C           D      G        D
Save my love through loneliness, Save my love for sorrow,

D         C     G          D
I'm given you my ownliness,   Come give your tomorrow.


(Verse 2)

D        C       G          D
If I worked my hands in wood,  Would you still love me?


D         C      G         D
Answer me babe, "Yes I would,   I'll put you above me."


D      C    G          D
If I were a miller,   at a mill wheel grinding,


D          C     G         D
would you miss your colored box,  your soft shoe shining?


(Chorus)

 C           D      G        D
Save my love through loneliness, Save my love for sorrow,

D         C     G          D
I'm given you my ownliness,   Come give your tomorrow.


(Verse 3)

D        C     G           D
If I.. were a carpenter     and you were a lady,

D          C    G           D
would you marry me anyway?   Would you have my baby?

D          C    G           D
would you marry me anyway?   Would you have my baby?
