There is a shiGp and it saCils on the sGea
Loaded deEmep as deep can bDe
But Cnot as dBmeep as the love I'm Cin
I know not if GI siDnk or swim C G/B Am G ( )
I leaned my baGck up againCst an oak G
Thinkin' Emit was a trusty Dtree
But Cfirst itBm bent and then it brCoke
Just like my oGwn fDalse love to mCe G/B Am G ( )
Oh, love is geGntle, love Cis kind G
Gay as a Emjewel when firstD it's new
But Clove groBmws old and waxes colCd
And fades awayG likDe some morningC dewG/B Am G ( )
The water is wGide and I cCan't cross oGver
Neither hEmave I wings to fDly
BuilCd me a bBmoat that can carry tCwo
