[N] [Gm]
[Am]
The [C]
water is [F]
wide, [C]
I can't [F] cross over, Neither [Dm]
have [Bb]
I wings to [C]
fly,
Build me a boat [Cm] that can carry [Bb]
two, [Gm]
And go [C]
shallow, [Am] [Cm]
my [F] lover.
There [Bb] [C] is a [F] ship, [Bb]
and she [F] sails
[Cm] low [F]
and [Dm] deep, [Bb]
As deep can [C]
be, but not [Am] so [C] deep,
As [Cm] the love [Bb]
I'm in, [Gm]
I know not [Am]
how [C] [Am] [C]
I sink or [F]
swim,
[Gm] Love [C] [F] is handsome, [C]
[F] and love is fine, A sweet as flower, [Dm] [Bb]
since first [C] it's new,
But love grows old, [Cm] and [Bb] waxes cold, [Gm]
And fades [Am] away, [Cm]
like [Dm] summer dew,
[Bb]
Build [F]
[Bb] [F]
[Dm]
[Bb]
[C]
me a [Am] [C] boat [F] that [Cm] can [Bb] carry two, [Gm]
And go [Am] shallow,
[C]
my lover.
[F] [Bb]
[Am]
