{c: }
[G] The water is wide, [C] I can't cross [G] o'er,
nor do I [Em] have [C] light wings to [D] fly.
Build me a [Bm] boat that can carry [Em] two, [C]
and both shall [G] row, [D] my love and [G] I.
{c: }
A ship there [G] is, [C] and sails the [G] sea,
she's loaded [Em] deep, [C] as deep can [D] be,
But not so [Bm] deep as the love I'm [Em] in, [C]
and I know not [G] how [D] I sink or [G] swim.
{c: }
When love is [G] young, [C] and love is [G] fine,
it's like a [Em] gem [C] when first it's [D] new.
But love grows [Bm] old and waxes [G] cold, [C]
and fades a[G]way [D] like the morning [G] dew.
{c: }
[G] The water is wide, [C] I can't cross [G] o'er,
nor do I [Em] have [C] light wings to [D] fly.
Build me a [Bm] boat that can carry [Em] two, [C]
and both shall [G] row, [D] my love and [G] I.
