[Am] [C]
[G] The water is [F]
wide, [C] [G] I can't [F] cross over
And neither [Dm]
have [Bb] I wings to [F] fly
[C] Build me a [Am]
boat [C] [Eb] that can [Bb] carry [Am] two
[Gm] And both [Am] shall row, [C]
[G] my love and I
[F]
There [C] is a [F] ship [Bb] and she sails the [F] sea
[Gm] [F]
She's loaded [Dm]
deep, [Bb] [Gm] as deep can be
[C] But not so [Am]
deep [Cm]
as the [F] love [Bb] I [F]
miss
[Gm] I know [Am] not how [G]
I sink [Bb] or [F]
swim
[Bb]
Love [C] is [F]
[Bb] handsome and love [F] is [F] fine
The [C] sweetest [Dm] flower, [Bb] [Gm] when first it's [C] new
But love [Am] grows [Cm] old and waxes [Bb] [F] cold
[Gm] And fades [Am]
away [Gm] like summer [Dm] dew
[C] [Bb] Build
[F] [G] [F]
[Dm]
[F] [Bb]
[Gm] [C]
[Gm] me a [Am]
boat [Cm] that can [C] carry [Bb] two
[F]
[Gm] And both shall [Am] row, [G]
my [Cm] love [D] and I
[C] [Bb] And both [Am] shall [C] row, my love and [F]
I
