D C
If I was a carpenter
G D
And you were a lady
C
Would you marry me anyway?
G D
Would you have my baby?

D C
If a tinker was my trade
G D
Would you tinker with me?
C
Would you keep the vows we made
G D
Followin' behind me?

D C
And if I was Jesus
G D
And I built some crosses
C
Could you see the future?
G D
Could you stand the losses
C
Of lovin' a carpenter
G D
And being a lady
C
And takin' a chance on me
G D
Just to be my baby?

C D
Save my love through loneliness
G D
Save my love through sorrow, yes
C
I'll give you my onliness
G D
If you just give me tomorrow

D C
If I was a rock star
G D
Would you be my groupie?
C
Would you make sweet love to me?
G D
Come to California?

D C
Well, I might go crazy
G D
I have to warn ya
C
Well, I get so mean sometimes
G D
When the spirit's on me

D C
That I think I'm Jesus
G D
Out buildin' crosses
C
Could ya see the future?
G D
Could ya stand the losses?
C
Of lovin' a carpenter
G D
And being a lady
C
And takin' a chance on me
G D
Just to be my baby?

C D
Save my love through loneliness
G D
Save my love through sorrow, yeah
C
I'll give you my onliness
G D
If you'd only give me tomorrow
