THERE IS A SHIP (The Water is Wide) -- Peter, Paul and Mary.
PP&M's version of this lovely folksong.
DThere is a ship Gand she sails the Dsea
DShe’s loadeBmd deepEm, as deep caAn be
A7But not as F#mdeep D7as the love I’Bmm in
G6I know not F#mif AI sink or Dswim
(Same chords for rest of song)
I leaned my back against an oak
Thinking it was a trusty tree
But first it bent and then it broke
Just as my love proved false to me
Oh, love is gentle, and love is kind
The sweetest flower when first it’s new
But love grows old and waxes cold
And fades away like the mornin’ dew
The water is wide, I cannot get o’er
Neither have I the wings to fly
Give me a boat that can carry two
And both shall row my love and I
