[Intro] G C G [Verse]
                  C              G     C  G
The water is wide, I can't cross o'er

       D Em  C               D
Nor do I have light wings to fly

           Bm                  Em   C
Build me a boat that can carry two

               D   D7           G
And both shall row, my love and I
[Verse]
               C              G    C  G
A ship there is and sails the sea

         D   Em   C            D
She's loaded deep, as deep can be

           Bm                   Em   C
But not so deep as the love I'm in

               D   D7         G
And I know not how, I sink or swim
[Instrumental] G C G Em C D D Bm Em C D D7 G [Verse]
                  C            G     C  G
When love is young and love is fine

          D Em C                D
It's like a gem when first it's new

               Bm            Em    C
But love grows old and waxes cold

           D  D7                G
And fades away like the morning dew
[Verse]
                  C              G     C  G
The water is wide, I can't cross o'er

       D Em  C               D
Nor do I have light wings to fly

           Bm                  Em   C
Build me a boat that can carry two

               D   D7           G  C  G
And both shall row, my love and I______
