The Once and Future Carpenter Tuning: EADGBE CAPO 4 Tabbed By: I_am_Billiam Cool Intro Riff E B E B E A F#m A I ain't from Texas, but I made my way from Dallas F#m B E - B and I know the lonesome sound is following E A F#m A I ain't a gambler, but I can recognize a hand F#m B E - B and when to hold, when queens are staring back at me. E - A - B Verse 2 (Use chords from first verse). Once I was a carpenter, man my hands were calloused I could swing a metal mallet sure and straight But I took to the highway, a poet young and hungry and I left the timbers where they lay A Am Forever I will move like the world that turns beneath me E C#m B and when I lose my direction I'll look up to the sky A and when the black cloak drags upon the ground Am E I'll be ready to surrender, and remember C#m B well we're all in this together A Am If I live the life I'm given, I wont be scared to die Verses 3+4. (Same as first two.) And I don't come from Detroit, but her diesel motors pull me and I followed till I finally lost my way And now I spend my days in search of a woman we called purpose And if I ever pass back through here town I'll stay Chorus 2 (Same as first). Forever I will move like the world that turns beneath me and when I lose my direction I'll look up to the sky and when the black cloak drags upon the ground I'll be ready to surrender, and remember well we're all in this together If I live the life I'm given, I won't be scared to die (Interlude again then that cool little riff). And my life is but a coin, pulled from an empty pocket Dropped into a slot with dreams of sevens close behind And hope and fear go with it, and moon and the sun go spinning Like the numbers and fruits before my eyes E A B E Sometimes I hit, sometimes it robs me blind Sometimes I hit, sometimes it robs me blind Chorus 3 (Same as first two). Forever I will move like the world that turns beneath me and when I lose my direction I'll look up to the sky and when the black cloak drags upon the ground I'll be ready to surrender, and remember well we're all in this together If I live the life I'm given, I won't be scared to die ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2.

A B E I only wanted to tell you I cared (Verse pattern) Every night after and every day since, I found myself crying when the memory hit. Sometimes it knocks me down, sometimes I just put it away.

I only wanted to tell you I cared. I only wanted to tell you I cared. (Outro Repeat intro rift) ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- 8.
