[Intro]
C F C Am F G
C Am C G C F C
[Verse]
F C
The water is wide, I cannot swim o'er
Am F G
And neither have I wings to fly
C Am
Give me a boat that can carry two
F G C F G
And we shall row, my love and I
[Verse]
C F C
A ship there is and she sails the sea
Am F G
She's loaded deep, as deep can be
C Am
But not so deep as the love I'm in
F G C F G
I know not if I sink or swim
[Verse]
C F C
I leaned my back onto an oak
Am F G
Thinking it was a trusty tree
C Am
But first it bent and then it broke
F G C F G
Thus did my false love to me
[Verse]
C F C
I put my hand into a bush
Am F G
Seeking the sweetest flower to pull
C Am
I pricked my finger to the bone
F G C F G
And left the dearest flower alone
[Verse]
C F C
Och, love is sweet and love is fine
Am F G
Carefree for e'er if young and new
C Am
But love grows cold and love grows old
F G C F G
And fades away like the morning dew
