[D]      [G]     [D]

{c: Verse}
The water is wide,[G] I can't cross [D]o'er  [G]   [D]
Nor do [A]I [Bm]have[G] light wings to [A]fly
Build me a [F#m]boat that can carry [Bm]two  [G]
And both shall [A]row,[A7] my love and [D]I

{c: Verse}
A ship there is[G] and sails the [D]sea  [G]   [D]
She's loa[A]ded [Bm]deep,[G] as deep can [A]be
But not so [F#m]deep as the love I'm [Bm]in   [G]
And I know not [A]how,[A7] I sink or [D]swim

{c: Verse}
When love is young[G] and love is [D]fine  [G]   [D]
It's like [A]a [Bm]gem[G] when first it's [A]new
But love grows [F#m]old and waxes [Bm]cold  [G]
And fades a[A]way[A7] like the morning [D]dew

{c: Verse}
The water is wide,[G] I can't cross [D]o'er  [G]   [D]
Nor do [A]I [Bm]have[G] light wings to [A]fly
Build me a [F#m]boat that can carry [Bm]two  [G]
And both shall [A]row,[A7] my love and [D]I__[G]___[D]_
