Intro: D Gmaj7 Em7 Asus4
DDDus4
G A D GEm7Asus4 D Dsus4
The water is wide, I can't cross over
D A/C# Bm BG/AEm7 AsuA4
And neither have I wings to fly
A A/F#m D7 G Em7#
Give me a boat that can carry two
F#m Em7 Asus4A D
And both shall row, my love and I
G A D GEm77 Asus4 D Dsus4
Oh, love is gentle and love is kind
D A/C# Bm BG/A Em7 AsuA4
The sweetest flower when first it's new
A A/G F#m D7 G Em7#
but love grows old and waxes cold
Fm Em7 Asus4 D
and fades away like morning dew
(Solo with basically the same chords)
G A D GEm77 Asus4 D Dsus4
There is a ship and she sails the sea
D A/C#Bm BG/A Em7 AsAs4
She's loaded deep as deep can be
A A/GF#m D7 G Em7#
But not as deep as the love I'm in
F#m Em7Asus4 D
I know not how I sink or swim
G A D GEm7Asus4 D Dsus4
The water is wide, I can't cross over
D A/C# Bm BG/AEm7 AsuA4
And neither have I wings to fly

Give me a boat that can carry two
F#m Em7 Asus4A D
And both shall row, my love and I

And both shall row, my love and I
