Capo 3rd fret

Standard (EADGBE)

 The water is wide

 And I can not cross over

 Nor do I have wings to fly

 Build me a boat

 That could carry two

  (5th fr) (addG)

And both shall row

 My love and I

 There is a ship

 And she sails the seas

 She's burdened deep

 As deep can be

 But not as deep

 As the love I'm in

 And I know not if

 I sink or swim

 But love is gentle

 And love is kind

 As to a jewel

 When first it's new

 But love grows old

 And it fades with time

  (5th fr) (addG)

And it fades away

 Like morning dew

 Build me a boat

 That could carry two

  (5th fr) (addG)

And both shall row

  (addG)

My love and I

  (addG)

My love and I

 My love and I
