[G]There is a ship [C]and she sails the [G]sea
[G]She’s loaded [Em]deep, [Am]as deep can [D]be
[D7]But not as [Bm]deep [G7]as the love I’m [Em]in
[C6]I know not [Bm]if [D]I sink or [G]swim
[G]I leaned my back [C]against an oak [G]
[G]Thinking it [Em]was a [Am]trusty tree [D]
[D7]But first [Bm]it [G7]bent and then it [Em]broke
[C6]Just as my [Bm]love [D]proved [G]false to me
[G]Oh, love is [C]gentle, and love is [G]kind
[G]The sweetest [Em]flower [Am]when first [D]it’s new
[D7]But love gr [Bm]ows o [G7]ld and waxes col [Em]d
[C6]And fades a [Bm]way [D]like the [G]mornin’ dew
[G]The water is [C]wide, I cannot get o’ [G]er
[G]Neither have [Em]I the [Am]wings to fly [D]
[D7]Give me a [Bm]boat [G7]that can carry [Em]two
[C6]And both [Bm]shall [D]row my love [G]and I
