Key: D

🎸 Intro:

A  G#b  D x2

🎸 Verse 1:
D                   A                            G#b
Granddaddy put some oak from the hill through an old sawmill
          D
Built the porch we were sitting on
       A                              G#b
Like a rocking chair preacher, told a story that was sweeter
         D
Than the tea we were sipping on
        A                 G#b
Grandma dreamed of a wraparound
          D
Took me a month to get the last board down
         A              G#b
I said, "Ain't that something "
          D*
He said, "This ain't nothing"

🎸 Chorus:
N.A.                    A                     G#b               D
Let me tell you 'bout a man whose hands built more than I ever could
                       A                        G#b               D    Dsus4  D
He set a world off the rails on track with some nails going into wood
          A                  G#b
He bore a cross that built a bridge
         D
Ain't no broken that He can't fix
       A              G#b
He can mend where you hurt
        D                     Dsus4  D
Let Him in and let Him get to work
                  A
He's the Carpenter
G#b       D   A  D
Oh-oh-oh-oh

🎸 Verse 2:
              A                          G#b
He said, "You should've seen me 'fore He helped me break free
         D
From the chains I was dragging round
            A                      G#b
We wouldn't be here talking if I'd kept on walking
     D
That road I was going down
             A                    G#b
Don't ask me how He made anything
           D
Out of the man I used to be
        A                 G#b
I was a worthless pile of scraps
          D
He said, "I'm used to using that"

🎸 Chorus:
                        A                     G#b               D
Let me tell you 'bout a man whose hands built more than I ever could
                       A                        G#b               D
He set a world off the rails on track with some nails going into wood
          A                  G#b
He bore a cross that built a bridge
         D
Ain't no broken that He can't fix
       A              G#b
He can mend where you hurt
        D
Let Him in and let Him get to work
                   A  G#b
He's the Carpenter
D                         A   G#b  D
Oh, oh-oh, He's the Carpenter

🎸 Bridge:
                F#m
He'll carve you out, sand you down
          G#b                  D
Build you up on solid gro-o-o-ound

🎸 Chorus:
                        A                     G#b               D     Dsus4  D
Let me tell you 'bout a man whose hands built more than I ever could

He set a world off the rails on track with some nails going into wood
          A                  G#b
He bore a cross that built a bridge
         D
Ain't no broken that He can't fix
       A              G#b
He can mend where you hurt
        D
Let Him in and let Him get to work
                    A   G#b
