D                         G    D 
The water is wide, I can't get over 

             Bm G           A 
Neither have I the wings to fly 

          F#m  D      Bm    G 
So go and get me to a boat 

G        F#m  A           D 
To carry both my love and I 

D               G          D 
Must I be bound and she go free? 

D       Bm   G                    A 
Am I to love while she don't love me? 

A            F#m     D    A   G    Bm 
Why should I act the childish part 

A          F#m  A              D 
and love a girl that breaks my heart 


Interlude: D G D Bm G A F#m D G F#m A D 

D               G          D 
There is a ship out on the sea 

D         Bm     G       A 
And loaded deep as it can be 

A          F#m  D          G 
But not as deep as love am I 

C#m   A       F#m A           D 
Don't care if I should live or die 


D                         G    D 
The water is wide, I can't get over 

             Bm G           A 
Neither have I the wings to fly 

          F#m  D      Bm    G 
So go and get me to a boat 

G    C#m F#m  A           D 
To carry both my love and I 

D       F#m  A           D 
To cary both my love and I
