    Bm       D    Bm Em   G           D    G D  
The water is wide       I can’t cross o'er 
    D/C#    Bm   G Em       A   Asus4  A 
And neither have I wings to fly 
      Asus4 Em  F#m  D7       D7sus4  G 
Build me      a boat that can carry   two 
Em             F#m    A A7     D Dsus4 Dsus2 D 
And both shall row my love and I 

verse 1 

      G    D    Bm      Em        D    Dsus4  D 
There is a ship and she sails the seas 
      Bm    Em    G    Em       A  Asus4  Asus2  A 
She's laden deep    as deep can be 
   Asus2 Em  F#m  Bm     G        D  G  D 
But not  so  deep as the love I'm in 
  F#m      Bm   G        D   Dsus4  Dsus2  D       
I know not if I sink or swim 

verse 2 

    Bm     D        Bm Em     G       D    G D   
Oh love is handsome       and love is fine 
   D/C#     Bm    Em              A   Asus4  A         
Bright as a jewel when first it's new 
    Asus4  Em   F#m  D7       D7sus4 G          
but love  grows old and waxes cold 
Em        F#m       A   A7      D   Dsus4 Dsus2 D           
And fades away like the morning dew.

The water is wide       I can’t cross o'er
