[Intro] D G D F#m D G D

D                         G    D
The water is wide, I can't get over

             Bm G           A
Neither have I the wings to fly

          F#m  D      Bm    G
So go and get me to a boat

G        F#m  A           D
To carry both my love and I

D               G          D
Must I be bound and she go free?

D       Bm   G                    A
Am I to love while she don't love me?

A            F#m     D    A   G    Bm
Why should I act the childish part

A          F#m  A              D
and love a girl that breaks my heart


[Interlude] D G D Bm G A F#m D G F#m A D

D               G          D
There is a ship out on the sea

D         Bm     G       A
And loaded deep as it can be

A          F#m  D          G
But not as deep as love am I

       A       F#m A           D
Don't care if I should live or die


D                         G    D
The water is wide, I can't get over

             Bm G           A
Neither have I the wings to fly

          F#m  D      Bm    G
So go and get me to a boat

G        F#m  A           D
To carry both my love and I

D       F#m  A           D
To cary both my love and I
