A D C#m  E7

             A     D                A     D The water is wide,    I can’t cross o'er.
                F#m  D                E    DAnd neither have I      the wings to fly.
           C#m  F#m                 A     DBuild me a boat     that can carry two,
               C#m  E7    D        AAnd both shall row,    my love and I.


             A  D                   A      DThere is a ship   and she sails the seas.
            F#m   D              E    DShe's laden deep,    as deep can be;
           C#m  F#m                  A   D  But not so deep     as the love I'm in
           C#m  E7      D       A     Asus4  AAnd I know not     if I sink or swim.


          A        D              A     DO love is handsome    and love is fine
            F#m    D                 E    DBright as a jewel    when first it's new
               C#m  F#m           A    D  but love grows old      and waxes cold
          C#m  E7          D       A    Asus4  AAnd fades away    like the morning dew.
          C#m  E7          D       A    Asus4  AAnd fades away    like the morning dew.


             A     D                A     D The water is wide,    I can’t cross o'er.
