Verse:
                                        C
Granddaddy put some oak from the hill 
                      Bb
through an old sawmill
                   F
Built the porch we were sitting on
                 C
Like a rocking chair preacher, 
                  Bb
told a story that was sweeter
                       F
Than the tea we were sipping on
                        C                             Bb
Grandma dreamed of a wraparound
                          F
Took me a month to get the last board down
                 C                        Bb
I said, "Ain't that something?"
                      F
He said, "This ain't nothing"

Chorus:
                                           C
Let me tell you 'bout a man whose hands 
                 Bb                     F
built more than I ever could
                                         C
He set a world off the rails on track 
                       Bb                        F
with some nails going into wood
                        C                         Bb
He bore a cross that built a bridge
                     F
Ain't no broken that He can't fix
                    C                      Bb
He can mend where you hurt
                     F
Let Him in and let Him get to work
                             C   
He's the Carpenter

Oh

Verse 2:
                               C
He said, "You should've seen me 
                    Bb
'fore He helped me break free
                       F
From the chains I was dragging round
                           C
We wouldn't be here talking 
              Bb
if I'd kept on walking
               F
That road I was going down
                          C                           Bb
Don't ask me how He made anything
                      F
Out of the man I used to be
                  C                         Bb
I was a worthless pile of scraps
                   F
He said, "I'm used to using that"

Chorus:
                                           C
Let me tell you 'bout a man whose hands 
                 Bb                     F
built more than I ever could
                                         C

with some nails going into wood
                        C                         Bb
He bore a cross that built a bridge
                     F
Ain't no broken that He can't fix
                    C                      Bb
He can mend where you hurt
                     F
Let Him in and let Him get to work
                             C   Bb

Oh, He's the Carpenter
                          Am 
He'll carve you out, sand you down
                   Bb                             F  
Build you up on solid ground
