There Is A Ship Lyrics

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