             D    G
The water is wide

              D
I can't cross over

            Bm   G
And neither have

           A7sus4  A7
I wings to fly

           F#m   Am7
Build me a boat

               G   Em
That can carry two

               F#m  A7sus4
And both shall row

            D
My love and I

           D    G
There is a ship

                  D
And she sails the sea

             Bm   G
She's loaded deep

            A
As deep can be

           F#m   Am7
But not so deep

                G  Em
As the love I'm in

           F#m  A7sus4
I know not how

          D   D Dsus4 D (hammer)
I sink or swim

           D       G
Oh love is handsome

            D
And love is fine

             Bm     G
The sweetest flower

                A
When first it's new

               F#m
But love grows old

          D    G
And waxes cold

           F#m  A7
And fades away

     G      D
Like summer dew
D G D Bm G A
           F#m
Build me a boat

               D   G
That can carry two

               F#m  A7
And both shall row

   G        D
My love and I

               F#m  A7
And both shall row

   G        D
My love and I
