#1.
E D A E
When you see some mud up..on the ground..

E D A E E A D A
you lay down so she don`t have to walk around.
E D A E
You think that will protect her from the rain..
E D A E E A D A
But you`ll never, ever, stop the pain.

CHORUS:
E A Bm A
She walks all over you, she knows she can..
A C G C C D C D..E
You`re the carpet man......you`re the carpet man.

#2.
E D A E
You take such care to keep that girl`s feet clean..
E D A E E A D
like she`s some ki..nd of figurine.
E D A E
The world`s so far below her it`s not her scene..
E D A E E D A
she depends on you to stand between.

CHORUS:
E A Bm A
She walks all over you, she knows she can..
A C G C C D C D..G
You`re the carpet man......you`re the carpet man.

BRIDGE:
G D G D
I would think you`d get tired of hurting, every now and then.
D G D G A
It`s lonely down there, that`s for certain, and carpets do get thin.

E A D A (x2)

#3.
E D A E
And that`s when they have to be thrown a..way.
E D A E
That`s what she`ll say to herself, some sunny day.
E D A E D A E
And she`ll say, 'Come to my wedding,' and of course you do.
E D A E E A D A
And the Groom and her will have a dance on you.

CHORUS:
E A Bm A
And they'll Waltz all over you, they know they can..
A C G C C D C D
You`re the carpet man.......you`re the carpet man.

E A D A (x2)

OUTRO:
E D A A E
You`re the carpet man......you`re the carpet man. (x3)(Fade.)
