Intro

G

Verse 1

           G    C                 G
There is a ship and she sails the sea
             Em     Am      D
She's loaded deep,  as deep can be
           Bm   C               Em C
But not as deep as the love I'm in
           D            G
I know not if I sink or swim

Verse 2

                 C          G
I leaned my back against an oak
            Em    Am       D
Thinking it was   a trusty tree
             Bm   C           Em   C
But first it bent and then it broke
           D                    G
Just as my love proved false to me

Verse 3

                    C           G
Oh, love is gentle, and love is kind
             Em      Am              D
The sweetest flower  when first it's new
               Bm  C         Em  C
But love grows old and waxes cold
          D                     G
And fades away like the mornin' dew

Verse 4

                   C            G
The water is wide, I cannot get o'er
             Em   Am           D
Neither have I    the wings to fly
          Bm   C               Em C
Give me a boat that can carry  two
               D                  G
And both shall row, my love and   I
