[Chorus]

The[D] water is wide I[G] cannot cross[D] over,

And[Bm] neither have I wings to[A7] fly,

Build[D] me a[F#m] boat that will[G] carry two,

And both[A7] shall roam,my[D] love and I.

[1]

A ship there is and she sails the sea

Sailing as deep,as deep can be

But not so deep as the love im in

And I know not how to sink or swim

[2]

I leaned my back against some young oak

Thinking she was a trusty tree

But first she bent,and then she broke

And thus did my false love to me

[repeat chorus]
