A
the water is wide, I can't cross over

    Asus2   Esus4
and neither I

           E
have wings to fly

          Asus2 A
give me a boat  that can carry two

A
And we both shall row, my love and I
[Verse 2]
A
my love is gentle, and love is kind

             Asus2 Esus4
the sweetest flower

              E
when first it blooms

               Asus2  A
but love grows old

A
and waxes cold

A
and fades away like morning dew
[Verse 3]
A
there is a ship that sails the sea

             Asus2
she's loaded deep

Esus4       E
as deep can be

Asus2      A
but not as deep as the love I made

A
I know not how to sink or swim
*play one full verse as this is The Bridge* [Verse 4]
A
the water is wide, I can't cross over

    Asus2   Esus4
and neither I

              E
have wings to fly

          Asus2
give me a boat

A
that can carry two

A
and both shall row, my love and I

A
and both shall row

A
my love and I
