Аккорды The Handsome Family - The House Carpenter

[Intro]

A5

[Verse 1]

A5
Well met, well met, said an old true love
A5
Well met, well met, said he
A5
I'm just returning from the salt, salt sea,
A5
and it's all for the love of thee

[Verse 2]

A5            G5               A5
Come in, come in, my old true love
            G5       A5
and have a seat with me
                              G5
It's been three-fourths of a long, long year
         A5    E5       A5
since together we have been

[Verse 3]

A5                 G5                 A5
Well, I can't come in or I can't sit down
                     G5       A5
For I haven't but a moment's time
                              G5
They say you're married to a house carpenter
          A5         E5       A5
and your heart will never be mine

[Verse 4]

A5
That's odd, could've married a king's daughter dear
A5
I'm sure she'd've married me
A5
But, I've forsaken her crowns of gold
A5
all for the love of thee

[Verse 5]

A5              G5                     A5
So, will you forsaken your house carpenter
             G5      A5
and come and go with me?
                               G5
I'll take you where the grass grows green
        A5           E5        A5
on the banks of the deep blue sea

[Verse 6]

A5         G5             A5
She picked up her little babe
            G5       A5
and kisses gave it three
                         G5
Says stay right here my darling little babe
     A5             E5   A5
and keep your poppa company

[Verse 7]

A5
Well they hadn't been on ship for about two weeks,
A5
I'm sure it was not three,
A5
when his true love sat down and began to weep
A5
and mourn most bitterly

[Verse 8]

A5            G5                          A5
Says are you weepin' for my silver or my gold?
              G5              A5
Says are you weepin' for my store?
                             G5
Or are you weepin' for that house carpenter
       A5                E5     A5
whose face you'll never see no more?

[Verse 9]

A5           G5                              A5
No, I'm not weepin' for your silver or your gold
           G5        A5
Or neither for your store
                     G5
I am weepin' for my darling little babe
       A5             E5      A5
whose face I'll never see no more

[Verse 10]

A5
Well they hadn't been on ship for about three weeks,
A5
I'm sure it was not four,
A5
when they sprung a leak in the bottom of the ship
A5
and it sunk for to rise no more

[Outro]
