Intro D Bm G A D Dsus4 Dsus2 D
Chorus 1
Bm D Bm Em G D G D
The water is wide I can’t cross o'er
D/C# Bm G Em A Asus4 A
And neither have I wings to fly
Asus4 Em F#m D7 D7sus4 G
Build me a boat that can carry two
Em F#m A A7 D Dsus4 Dsus2 D
And both shall row my love and I
Verse 1
G D Bm Em D Dsus4 D
There is a ship and she sails the seas
Bm Em G Em A Asus4 Asus2 A
She's laden deep as deep can be
Asus2 Em F#m Bm G D G D
But not so deep as the love I'm in
F#m Bm G D Dsus4 Dsus2 D
I know not if I sink or swim
Verse 2
Bm D Bm Em G D G D
Oh love is handsome and love is fine
D/C# Bm Em A Asus4 A
Bright as a jewel when first it's new
Asus4 Em F#m D7 D7sus4 G
but love grows old and waxes cold
Em F#m A A7 D Dsus4 Dsus2 D
And fades away like the morning dew.
Chorus 2
Bm D Bm Em G D G D
The water is wide I can’t cross o'er
D/C# Bm G Em A Asus4 A
And neither have I wings to fly
Asus4 Em F#m D7 D7sus4 G
Build me a boat that can carry two
Em F#m A A7 D Bm G A D Dsus4 Dsus2 D
And both shall row my love and I
