in the right order with each chord, and

voila!, you have yourself this song.

*verse one*

the water is wide, I can t cross over

and neither I

have wings to fly

give me a boat that can carry two

And we both shall row, my love and I

*verse two*

my love is gentle, and love is kind

the sweetest flower

when first it blooms

but love grows old

and waxes cold

and fades away like morning dew

*verse three*

there is a ship that sails the sea

she s loaded deep

as deep can be

but not as deep as the love I made

I know not how to sink or swim

*play one full verse as this is The Bridge*

*verse four*

the water is wide, I can t cross over

and neither I

have wings to fly

give me a boat

that can carry two

and both shall row, my love and I

and both shall row

my love and I
