    F        C    F              C    
The water is wide, I can't cross over 
       ~    Am  Dm          G  
And neither have I wings to fly 
          Em  F               C    F 
Give me a boat that can carry two 
               C   F   G        C 
And both shall row, my love and I 



verse 1 
      F    C   F                  C    
There is a ship and she sails the sea 
         ~   Am   Dm           G  
She's loaded deep, as deep can be 
           Em  F                C    F 
But not so deep as the love I'm in 
           C  F  G       C 
I know not how I sink or swim

And neither have I wings to fly 
          Em  F               C    F 
Give me a boat that can carry two 
               C   F   G        C 
And both shall row, my love and I

My love is handsome and love is fine 
   ~ Am   Dm               G  
As a jewel when first it's new 
               Em F          C     F 
And love grows old and waxes cold 
           C  F     G      C 
And fades away like summer dew 

    F        C    F              C    
The water is wide, I can't cross over

Give me a boat that can carry two

And both shall row, my love and I 
               C   F   G        C 
And both shall row, my love and I
