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

And we are the great, chosen crew

what have I power to do

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

         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

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
