Capo 2
[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
