Chords in this song

Strum
D-DU-UDU
 There is a ship  that sails the sea
 It is loaded deep  as deep can be.
 But not so deep  as the love  I'm in
 That I know not  if I sink or swim
 The water is wide  we cannot get o'er
 And neither have  I wings to fly.
 Give me a boat  that will carry two
 That boat shall row  my love and I
