Come neighbor get ready to
D Bm
dance for your bread
D G D
My son I was once where you stand
D G D
There's a beast with insatiable hunger
Bm D
It's minions need crafters and
A D
skilled working hands
D G D
Needs a fortress high in the hilltops
D G A
And we are the great chosen crew
D G D Bm
But I am a lowly carpenter so
D A G
what have I power to do
G A D
D G D Bm
Oh misery Call us to rise up at dawn
D G D
To turn whey as fast as we can
D G D Bm
We may be the mortar that cradles the brick
D A D
But i am just one grain of sand
D G D
And don't tell me of tossing the wrenches
D G A
It only brings pleasure and pain
D G D Bm
And we are all lowly carpenters so
D A G
Where we're taken is where we remain
G A D
D G
And the master shall govern
D Bm
with unbroken backs
D G D
Look down from the top of the hill
D G
You could cry through the night
D Bm
just as much as you like
D A D
There will always be towers to build
D G D
I could've been more than some stone-dragging vessel
D
I could be more than their
G A
wood-cutting slave
D G D Bm
But we are all lowly carpenters so
D A G
what have we power to change
G A D
D G
And if you can't take no more
D Bm
then get out of the way
D G D
For we've got a day to get through
D G
We wire their castles
D Bm
their prisons and banks
G A D
Know their mansions from cellar to roof
D G D
We've got hammers and wrenches and chisels
D G
We could destroy any great wall
A
we come to
D G D Bm
But I am a lowly carpenter so
D A G
what have i power to do
G A D
