Roger Mcguinn

^G The water is wide ^C I can not cross ^G over
And neither have ^Em I wings to ^D fly
But build me a ^G boat ^Bm that can carry ^Em two ^C
And both shall ^Am roam ^D my love and ^G I
A ship there ^G is and ^C she sails the ^G sea
Sailing as ^Em deep as deep can ^D be
But not so ^G deep ^Bm as the love I am ^Em in ^C
I know ^Am not how ^D I sink or ^G swim
^G I leaned my back ^C against some young ^G oak
Thinking that ^Em he was a trusty t ^D ree
But first he ^G bent ^Bm and then he ^Em broke ^C
And thus ^Am did ^D my false love and ^G me
^{Am D G}
