[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

[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______
