D G F#m  A7

             D    G

The water is wide

              D

I can't cross over

            Bm   G

And neither have

           A7sus4  A7

I wings to fly

           F#m   Am7

Build me a boat

               G   Em

That can carry two

               F#m  A7sus4

And both shall row

            D

My love and I

           D    G

There is a ship

                  D

And she sails the sea

             Bm   G

She's loaded deep

            A

As deep can be

           F#m   Am7

But not so deep

                G  Em

As the love I'm in

           F#m  A7sus4

I know not how

          D   D Dsus4 D (hammer)

I sink or swim

           D       G

Oh love is handsome

            D

And love is fine

             Bm     G

The sweetest flower

                A

When first it's new

               F#m

But love grows old

          D    G

And waxes cold

           F#m  A7

And fades away

     G      D

Like summer dew

D G D Bm G A

           F#m

Build me a boat

               D   G

That can carry two

               F#m  A7

And both shall row

   G        D

My love and I

               F#m  A7

And both shall row

   G        D

My love and I
