D MajorD Dsus4Dsus4 D MajorD
G+G A augmentedA D MajorD Gmaj7Gmaj7 E minor 7Em7 Asus4Asus4 D MajorD Dsus4Dsus4 D MajorD
The water is wide, I can't cross over
D MajorD A/C#A/C# B minorBm Bm/ABm/A G+G E minor 7Em7 Asus4Asus4 A augmentedA
And neither have I wings to fly
A augmentedA A/GA/G F# minorF#m D7D7 G+G G/f# E minor 7Em7
Give me a boat that can carry two
F# minorF#m E minor 7Em7 Asus4Asus4 A augmentedA D MajorD
And both shall row, my love and I
G+G A augmentedA D MajorD Gmaj7Gmaj7 E minor 7Em7 Asus4Asus4 D MajorD Dsus4Dsus4 D MajorD
Oh, love is gentle and love is kind
D MajorD A/C#A/C# B minorBm Bm/ABm/A G+G E minor 7Em7 Asus4Asus4 A augmentedA
The sweetest flower when first it's new
A augmentedA A/GA/G F# minorF#m D7D7 G+G G/f# E minor 7Em7
but love grows old and waxes cold
F minorFm E minor 7Em7 Asus4Asus4 D MajorD
and fades away like morning dew
[Solo with basically the same chords]
G+G A augmentedA D MajorD Gmaj7Gmaj7 E minor 7Em7 Asus4Asus4 D MajorD Dsus4Dsus4 D MajorD
There is a ship and she sails the sea
D MajorD A/C#A/C# B minorBm Bm/ABm/A G+G E minor 7Em7 Asus4Asus4 A augmentedA
She's loaded deep as deep can be
A augmentedA A/GA/G F# minorF#m D7D7 G+G G/f# E minor 7Em7
But not as deep as the love I'm in
F# minorF#m E minor 7Em7 Asus4Asus4 D MajorD
I know not how I sink or swim
G+G A augmentedA D MajorD Gmaj7Gmaj7 E minor 7Em7 Asus4Asus4 D MajorD Dsus4Dsus4 D MajorD
The water is wide, I can't cross over
D MajorD A/C#A/C# B minorBm Bm/ABm/A G+G E minor 7Em7 Asus4Asus4 A augmentedA
And neither have I wings to fly
A augmentedA A/GA/G F# minorF#m D7D7 G+G G/f# E minor 7Em7
Give me a boat that can carry two
F# minorF#m E minor 7Em7 Asus4Asus4 A augmentedA D MajorD
And both shall row, my love and I
G+G Asus4Asus4 A augmentedA D MajorD Dsus4Dsus4 D MajorD
And both shall row, my love and I
