Intro:  

 Am  Bb/C

             F    Bb/C
The water is wide
              F
I can't cross over
            Dm   Bb
And neither have
           Csus4 C
I wings to fly
C7/Bb       Am   Cm7
Build me a boat
         F7   Bb
That can carry two
Gm7             Am  Bb/C
And both shall row
             F     Fsus4  F
My love and I

     Bb/D C/E   F    Bb
There is a ship
                  F/A Gm F
And she sails the sea
       C/E      Dm   Bb
She's loaded deep
            Csus4   C   
As deep can be
    C7/Bb       Am
But not so deep
Cm7      F7      Bb  F/A  Gm
As the love I'm in
           Am  Bb/C
I know not how
              F   Fsus4 F 
I sink or swim

    Bb/D  C/E  F   Bb/C
Oh love is handsome
            F
And love is fine
    C/E         Dm     Bb
The sweetest flower
      Bb/D       Csus4 C
When first it's new
      C7/Bb      Am
But love grows old
Cm7   F7      Bb  F/A Gm    
And waxes cold
           Am  Bb/C
And fades away
              Dm       
Like summer dew

   C7/Bb     Am
Build me a boat
Cm7        F7   Bb F/A Gm
That can carry two
               Am  Bb/C
And both shall row
             Dm   Bb
My love and I
               Am  Bb/C
And both shall row
             F    Fsus4   F
My love and I
