Chords for Pentangle - House Carpenter (In Concert), 4th January 1971)

_ _ [Bm] _ _ _ I once could have [C#] married the king's third son, [G] _ _
_ _ [C#] who is he?
[F#m] But I [Bm] married to a house carpenter, and a nice [F#] young man is he.
[Bm] _ _ _ _ _
Well, would you forsake your _ [F#] house carpenter, [Bm] and go [C#] along with him?
I will take [B] you to where the grass grows green [G] on the [F#] banks of the river Dill.
_ [Bm] _ _ _ _
_ [B] What would you have to maintain [E] _
[F#] me [B] upon, to [Bm] keep me from slave [B]-holding? _
I have seven ships, they will soon be aglam, and there your cabin shall be.
_ [Bm] She _
_ [F#] _ _ took her duvet by the hand, [B] _ and gave it to me.
She said, I know you, darling little babe, keep your father sweet [F#] company.
_ _ She _ _ _ [B] dressed herself in her very best, like a highborn [C#] lady was she.
[F#] _ She shimmered and she proudly stepped as they walked by the [Em] river Dill.
_ [G#] _ _ _
_ [B] _ _ They hadn't [G#] been gone but a [B] short, [F#] short time.
Now she wept for her sorry, I'll give her the gold and the [B] silver too, just to see [F#] my baby one more. _ _ _
_ [F#] _ _ She said, if you had all the [B] gold, _ [F#] silver too, whatever did the frost see?
_ You never [B] would be at London anymore, to buy if you would not have stayed.
_ [G#] _ _
_ _ _ [F#] They hadn't been sailing but a short, short time.
Oh how do we see a more, a more shipwreck than we can see.
And they were new, and they were far away, I'm sure. _ _ _
_ _ _ [B] I see _ bright [G] hills _ of _ heaven, my dear.
_ I _ _ _ _ _ _ see bright _ _ hills that tell _ me, dear, [C#] where you must _ _ _ go.
[B] _ _
_ [F#] _ _ [F#] I wish I [C#] was back [B] home, Scarpenter.
I wish I were here dreaming [F#] now, that here I am in the raging sea, and my soul is gone for ever. _ _ _
