The Once And Future Carpenter

The Avett Brothers

Transposer:

Capo IV Yes I know the lyrics aren’t quite right. But you’ll get the idea. [Intro] Opening riff that I am yet to derive. Then: [Verse 1] I ain’t from Texas but I made my way from Dallas and I know the lonesome sound is following I ain’t a gambler but I can recognize a hand and when to hold when queens are staring back at me. [Interlude] e|--------0--------0----| B|--------1--------0----| G|--------2--------0----| D|--------2--------2----| A|-3-2-0--0--------2----| E|-----------3-2-0-0----|x3 - - [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 [Chorus] 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 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] 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 wont be scared to die [Interlude] e|--------0--------0----| B|--------1--------0----| G|--------2--------0----| D|--------2--------2----| A|-3-2-0--0--------2----| E|-----------3-2-0-0----|x3 - - [Verse 5] 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 [Bridge] Sometimes I hit sometimes it robs me blind Sometimes I hit sometimes it robs me blind [Chorus] 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 wont be scared to die

Cette chanson évoque le parcours d’un homme qui, bien qu'il ne vienne pas d'un endroit spécifique, se sent traîné par des souvenirs et des expériences qui le hantent. Il parle de son ascension, de ses débuts modestes en tant que charpentier, et de sa quête, à la fois personnelle et spirituelle, tandis qu’il erre à la recherche de sens et de but. Avec un air de résignation, il exprime la certitude que malgré les incertitudes de la vie, il existe un lien profond qui unit tous les êtres. Il aborde également la dualité entre l’espoir et la peur, tout en reconnaissant que chaque expérience, qu’elle soit positive ou négative, enrichit son existence. La réflexion sur la vie et la mort, ainsi que la manière dont on fait face aux défis, souligne une certaine sagesse qui découle de l’acceptation de notre destinée. Au final, il nous rappelle que nous somme tous connectés dans ce voyage qu'est la vie.
