[C]
[G] Water
[G]
is a [C] wife, and I can't cross over,
Fill me thy [Em] wings, and I [D] could fly,
Build [A] me a [Bm] boat that can carry [C] two,
And [G] both shall grow,
[D] my love [C] and I.
[G]
There is a ship, [C] and it sails [G] on the sea,
O'er the [Em] deep, as deep can [D] be,
[Bm] But not as deep, as the love [C] I'm [G] in,
[C]
And on our day, [D]
I sink or [G] swim,
[Am] [G] I lean my back
[C] against [G] the boat,
Thinking [Em] it was a [D] trusty tree,
But at first [Bm] it bends, and then it [C]
rolls,
Just like [G] my own, [D] false love to [Bm] [G] me.

[G]
O love is [C]
gentle, love [G] is kind,
Gay [Em] as a jewel, when first [D] it's new,
But love [Bm] grows up, and [D] [C] waxes cold,
And fades [G] away, [D]
like some [C] morning dew.

my love [A] and I.
