[ D ] The water is wide, [ G ] I can't cross [ D ] over
And neither have [ Bm ] I, the wings to [ A ] fly
Build me a [ F#m ] boat, that can carry [ G ] two
And both shall [ D ] row, [ A ] my love and [ D ] I

[ D ] A ship there is, [ G ] and she sails the [ D ] seas
She's laden [ Bm ] deep, as deep can [ A ] be
But not so [ F#m ] deep, as the love I'm [ G ] in
And I know [ D ] not, [ A ] if I sink or [ D ] swim

[ D ] The water is wide, [ G ] I can't cross [ D ] over
And neither have [ Bm ] I, the wings to [ A ] fly
Build me a [ F#m ] boat that can carry [ G ] two
And both shall [ D ] row, [ A ] my love and [ D ] I
And both shall [ D ] row, [ A ] my love and [ D ] I
