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
