G C G
The water is wide I can not cross over
Em D
And neither have I wings to fly
G Bm Em C
But build me a boat that can carry two
Am D G
And both shall roam my love and I
G C G
A ship there is and she sails the sea
Em D
Sailing as deep as deep can be
G Bm Em C
But not so deep as the love I am in
Am D G
I know not how I sink or swim
G C G
I leaned my back against some young oak
Em D
Thinking that he was a trusty tree
G Bm Em C
But first he bent and then he broke
Am D G
And thus did my false love and me
