Carpenter, carpenter, won't you build us a home 
G              Em 
One true and straight where our children may grow 
                 C 
Built on a foundation made of stone 
G 
Carpenter, carpenter, won't you build us a home 


C        G      C      G 
My darling, sweet darling, I will do what I can 
C        G 
Oh to build you a home with my own two hands 
Em                C 
I'll build it strong, build it tall 
So you may see it throughout the land 
G 
My darling, sweet darling, I will draw up the plan

C        G 
Carpenter, carpenter, oh a family we will raise 
Em               C 
And in the yard of our home is where our children will play 
And we will thank the Lord 
G 
For the rest of our days 
C 
Carpenter, carpenter, oh a family we will raise 


C        G      C        G 
My darling, sweet darling, I will work through bitter cold 
C        G 
Oh the frame to the walls on which a roof they will hold 
Em                C 
And we will sit on our porch and stories will be told 
About a carpenter and his bride and their hand-built home 

 
G 
Carpenter, carpenter, we shed blood, sweat, and tears 
                C 
And we will share in this home for the rest of our years 
And when it's stormy outside 
We will draw each other near 
G 
Oh with our house built on the rock we need not fear 


D        G      C        G 
My darling, sweet darling, there is little more to do 
C        G           Em 
For I finished the walls and I painted them blue 
                    C 
And I will carry you through the door of our house so new 
G 
My darling, sweet darling, I built this house for you
