[Intro]
G G7 Em C D7 G C G
[Verse 1]
G D7 G C G
The river is wide, I can-not see
Em D7
Nor do I have light wings to fly
G G7 Em C
Build me a boat that can carry two
G D7 G C G
And both shall row, my love and I
[Verse 2]
G D7 G C G
My love is like the lof-ty tree
Em D7
It shudders fierce and then sways free
G G7 Em C
If it should fade when the summer's through
G D7 G C G
She'll bloom again when the spring shines through
[Verse 3]
G D7 G C G
When love is young, then love is fine
Em D7
Just like a gem when first it's new
G G7 Em C
But love grows old and waxes cold
G D7 G C G
And fades a-way like the morn-ing dew
[Verse 4]
G D7 G C G
The river is wide, I can-not see
Em D7
Nor do I have light wings to fly
G G7 Em C
Build me a boat that can carry two
G D7 G C G
And both shall row, my love and I
