There Is a Ship

(início)

Am       F        G
She's loaded deep, as deep can be,
           C           Am       C
But not as deep as the love I'm in.
  Am       G    Am      C
I know not if I sink or swim.
            C     Am        G
I leaned my back against an oak,
            Am    F      G
Thinking it was a trusty tree.
             C         Am      C
But first it bent, and then it broke,
     Am    G         Am       C
Just as my love grew false to me.
            C          Am      G
Oh, love is gentle and love is kind.
             Am          F          G
The sweetest flower when first it's new.
               C       Am    C
But love grows old and waxes cold,
    Am     G            Am      C
And fades away like the mornin' dew.
              C       Am         G
The water is wide, I cannot get o'er.
             Am    F        G
Neither have I the wings to fly.
          C             Am    C
Give me a boat that can carry two,
    Am         G       Am       C
And both shall row, my love and I.
