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 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 Let Him in and let Him get to work A G#b He's the Carpenter (Ahh-ahh) 🎸 Outro: D A G#b D Oh, oh-oh, He's the Carpenter (Ahh-ahh-ahh) D He's the Carpenter
