[Intro]

C G F G
C G F G C

[Verse 1]

C G
Oh, he makes his life as a carpenter
F G
He works his hands in wood
C G
And he lives the way his granddad
F G
Might have liked and understood

C G
He goes to work each morning
F G
And he comes home every night
C Cmaj9 Am G
And the time that passes in between
F G C
He knows has been spent right

[Interlude]

C G F G C

[Verse 2]

C G
A child in South Ohio
F G
A man in Northern Maine
C G
He took his dream to the end of the world
F G
And he brought it back again

C G
Here he met his sweet Rebekah
F G
Here he came to make his stand
C Cmaj9 Am G
In a house he built in the piny woods
F G C
Where the ocean meets the land

[Chorus]

C G F G C
And it's hey ho, steady as you go
F G C
Sing for the love of the land
F G Am
Hey ho, blessed is the home
F G C
Born of the carpenter's hand

[Interlude]

C G F G C

[Verse 3]

C G
Oh, his hair is rough and curly
F G
And his legs they reach the ground
C G
And his eyes are full of living
F G
And his back is broad and brown

C G
And his heart is sure and stubborn
F G
And his pride's too strong to bend
C Cmaj9 Am G
And somewhere in his life he found
F G C
The time to be my friend

[Chorus]

C G F G C
And it's hey ho, steady as you go
F G C
Sing for the love of the land
F G Am
Hey ho, blessed is the home
F G C
Born of the carpenter's hand

[Intro]

C G F G
C G F G C

[Verse 4]

G C G
Oh, he loves his sweet Rebekah
F G
He'll love her 'til his death
C G
And she gave to him a bonny son
F G
And they named the child Seth

C G
And now they are a family
F G
A community of three
C Cmaj9 Am G
Living in the piny woods
F G C
Where the soil meets the sea

[Chorus]

C G F G C
And it's hey ho, steady as you go
F G C
Sing for the love of the land
F G Am
Hey ho, blessed is the home
F G C Am
Born of the carpenter's hand
F G C
Born of the carpenter's hand

[Outro]
