[Verse 1]
C F C
The Water Is Wide I Can Not Get Over
C/B Am F G G7
And Neither Have I Wings To Fly
Em Am Am7/G
Give Me A Boat That Can Carry Two
F G G7 C(add11) C
And Both Shall Roam My Love And I
[Verse 2]
C F C
A Ship There Is And She Sails The Sea
C/B Am F G G7
She's Loaded Deep As Deep Can Be
Em Am Am7/G
But Not So Deep As The Love, I Am In
F G G7 C(add11) C
And I Know Not How I Sink Or Swim
[Verse 3]
C F C
I Leaned My Back Up Against Some Young Oak
C/B Am F G G7
Thinking He Was A Trusty Tree
Em Am Am7/G
But First He Bent And Then He Broke
F G G7 C(add11) C
And Thus Did My False Love To Me
[Verse 4]
C F C
I Put My Hand Into Some Soft Bush
C/B Am F G G7
Thinking The Sweetest Flower To Find
Em Am Am7/G
I Pricked My Finger To The Bone
F G G7 C(add11) C
And Left The Sweetest Flower Alone
[Verse 5]
C F C
Oh Love Is Handsome, And Love Is Fine
C/B Am F G G7
Gay As A Jewel, When First It Is New
Em Am Am7/G
But Love Grows Old And Waxes Cold
F G G7 C(add11) C
And Fades Away, Like Summer Dew
[Repeat First Verse]
