The above diagram depicts the picking pattern
used for the entire song, using the "A" chord
as an example. Just play the correct strings
in the right order with each chord, and
voila!, you have yourself this song.

*verse one*
A
the water is wide, I can't cross over
A5 Esus
and neither I
E
have wings to fly
A5 A
give me a boat that can carry two
A
And we both shall row, my love and I

*verse two*
A
my love is gentle, and love is kind
A5 Esus
the sweetest flower
E
when first it blooms
A5 A
but love grows old
A
and waxes cold
A
and fades away like morning dew

*verse three*
A
there is a ship that sails the sea
A5
she's loaded deep
Esus E
as deep can be
A5 A
but not as deep as the love I made
A
I know not how to sink or swim

*play one full verse as this is The Bridge*

*verse four*
A
the water is wide, I can't cross over
A5 Esus
and neither I
E
have wings to fly
A5
give me a boat
A
that can carry two
A
and both shall row, my love and I
A
and both shall row
A
my love and I
