C                 F             C
The water is wide I can't cross o'er

            Am    C            G7
And neither have  our wings to fly

          C                    Am
Give me a boat that will carry two

               C    G7          C
And both shall row  my love and I


                  F           C
Oh love is gentle and love is kind

             Am      C               G7
The sweetest flower  when first it’s new

               C                  Am
But love grows old and the wax is cold

          C     G7           C
And fades away  like morning dew


                F                 C
There is a ship and she sails the sea

             Am    C           G7
She's loaded deep  as deep can be

           C                    Am
But not as deep as the love I'm in

           C   G7        C
I know not if  I sink or swim


C                 F             C
The water is wide I can't cross o'er

            Am    C            G7
And neither have  our wings to fly

          C                    Am
Give me a boat that will carry two

               C    G7          C
And both shall row  my love and I


                    G7          C
And both shall row  my love and I
