(Arpeggio) [F] . . . | . . . . |[Bb] . . . | [F] . . . |
{c: }
[F] The water is wide, [Bb] I cannot [F] cross over
[F] And neither [Dm] have [Bb] I wings to [C] fly
[C] Build me a [Am] boat that can carry [Dm] two
[Bb] And both shall [Csus4] row [C] my love and [F] I
{c: }
[F] There is a ship [Bb] and she sails the [F] sea
[F] She’s loaded [Dm] deep, [Bb] as deep can [C] be
[C] But not so [Am] deep as the love I’m [Dm] in
[Bb] And I know not [Csus4] if [C] I sink or [F] swim
{c: }
[F] I leant my back [Bb] against an [F] oak
[F] Thinking it [Dm] was [Bb] a trusty [C] tree
[C] But first it [Am] bent and then it [Dm] broke
[Bb] Just as my [Csus4] love [C] proved false to [F] me
{c: }
{sos}
[F] The water is wide, [Bb] I cannot [F] cross over
[F] And neither [Dm] have [Bb] I wings to [C] fly
[C] Build me a [Am] boat that can carry [Dm] two
[Bb] And both shall [Csus4] row [C] my love and [F]
{eos}
[F] O love is handsome [Bb] and love is [F] fine
[F] The brightest [Dm] jewel [Bb] when first it is [C] new
[C] But love grows [Am] old and waxes [Dm] cold
[Bb] And fades a[Csus4]way [C] like the morning [F] dew
{c: }
[F] The water is wide, [Bb] I cannot [F] cross over
[F] And neither [Dm] have [Bb] I wings to [C] fly
[C] Build me a [Am] boat that can carry [Dm] two
[Bb] And both shall [Csus4] row, [C] my love [C7] and [F] I . . . .
