*verse one* 
A 
the water is wide, I can't cross over 
    A5      Esus 
and neither I 
           E 
have wings to fly 
          A5   A 
give me a boat that can carry two 
A 
And we both shall row, my love and I 
 
*verse two* 
A 
my love is gentle, and love is kind 
             A5   Esus 
the sweetest flower 
              E 
when first it blooms 
               A5   A 
but love grows old 
A 
and waxes cold 
A 
and fades away like morning dew 
 
*verse three* 
A 
there is a ship that sails the sea 
             A5 
she's loaded deep 
Esus        E 
as deep can be 
A5         A 
but not as deep as the love I made 
A 
I know not how to sink or swim 
 
*play one full verse as this is The Bridge* 
 
*verse four* 
A 
the water is wide, I can't cross over 
    A5      Esus 
and neither I 
              E 
have wings to fly 
          A5 
give me a boat 
A 
that can carry two 
A 
and both shall row, my love and I 
A 
and both shall row 
A 
my love and I
