Chords for Pentangle - House Carpenter (Songs From The Two Brewers, 8th May 1970)

_ [C] _ _ _ [Cm] _ _
_ _ _ [G] _ Well I once could have married [Bb] the _ king's third son,
[D] _ _
_ [Gm] _ _ [D] But _
_ _ [Gm] now I'm married to a _ carpenter and a nice young [Gm] man,
And I'm a little bit sad I see.
_ [Ab] _
_ _ _ _ [Eb] _ _
_ _ Would you [C] forsake your _ house, carpenter,
_ [G] And go _ along [Cm] with her?
_ _ I will take you to where the grass grows green
On the banks of the river.
_ _ _ _ [Eb] _ _
_ [Eb] _ _ _ [G] _
But would you have to maintain [C] _ me a bond
To keep me from sea [C] or _ wind?
I have seven ships, they will soon be at land,
And they are the ark of my child B. _ _
_ [Cm] She _ _ [C] _
_ _ _ [G] took her two bakes [C] by _ [Cm] the hand,
And kisses gave them [C] sweet,
_ [G] _
Sister, I do you [Fm] darling [Cm]
little babes
Keep your father's sweet company.
_ _ _ _ She _ [D] _ _ _ [C] _ _
dressed herself in her _ very best, _
Like a hard lady was she.
_ She _ _ shimmered and she proudly stepped
[G] As they walked by the lines of sea. _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _
_ They hadn't been gone but a _ short, short time
_ Until she wept for us all.
_ They'd give all the gold and the silver too,
Just to see my babes once _ more. _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ They'd give all the gold and the _ silver [C] too,
_ [G] Whatever they'd cross the sea. _ _
You never would be at land anymore,
To buy what you would never want to. _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _
They hadn't been sailing but a _ short, short _ time
About two weeks we were far,
One ship sprang on the other, and they were gone,
And they were far away from [C] shore. _
_ _ _ _ _ _
_ I see _ _ [Ab] bright _ _ hills _ of [Bb] _ _
heaven, my dear, _ _
Where angels _ come and go. _ _
I see _ bright _ hills that _ tell, my dear, _
Where you [B] and I must go.
[G] _ _ [Cm] _ _ [G] _ _
[C] _ _ I [G] wish I was [C] back to my _ house, Garvinder,
_ I'm sure he would treat [Fm] me well.
[G] For here I am in the raging sea,
And my soul is bound for hell.
