Verse 1
(D major) The wa (Csus2) ter is (G major) wide,
I cannot (C major) get (G major) o 'er,
(C major) Nor yet (E minor) have I the (C major) wings (D major) to fly.
Give me a (G major) boat that will carry (C major) two
(E minor) And (C major) both shall (G major) row, my love (D major) and (G major) I
(D major) Down in the meadow the other day
A -gathering flower (G major) s both
bright (D major) an d gay
Gathering flowers both (G major) red and blue
(E minor) I little (D major) thought (C major) what love (D major) could do (G major)
(D major) I put my back (G major) again (C major) st (D major) an oak
(G major) Thinking (C major) it (E minor) was a (D major) trusty tree
But first it bent (G major) and (C major) then it (E minor) broke
Just (C major) like my (G major) own (D major) false love and
(G major) me (D major) (G major) (D major) (G major) (C major) (E minor) (D major)
(G major) There (D major) is (G major) a ship and it (C major) sails the sea
(G major) It's (C major) loaded deep (E minor) , (C major) as deep (D major) can be
But not so deep as this love I'm in (G major)
I (E minor) know not (D major) if I (C major) sink (D major) or (G major) swim
(D major) For love is (G major) gentle and (C major) love is true
(G major) An (C major) d love's a pleasure
(E minor) when (C major) first (D major) it's new
But as it grows (G major) old it waxes (E minor) cold
Then (C major) fades (G major) away like (D major) the morning dew
(G major) Oh, the water (C major) is (G major) wide,
I (C major) cannot get on, (G major)
(C major) Nor yet (E minor) have I the wings (D major) to fly.
Give me a boat that will carry (E minor) two,
(D major) An d both (C major) shall (G major) row, my (D major) love an (G major) d I. you
