Song: The Water Is Wide
By:   Karla Bonoff (Traditional)
 
[intro:]
          D G/B    Em7  Asus4 A  { xx0232  x20003  020030  x02230  x02220 }         
          D Dsus4  D             { xx0232  xx0233  xx0232 }


[verse: 1]
     G/B  A  D     G/B  Em7    Asus4 A     D Dsus4  D
The water is wide            I can't cross over  
     D  D/C# Bm/B Bm/A Bm/G   Em7      Asus4  A   
And neither  have          I wings to fly
     A   A/G F#m   D7                G   G/F#  Em7
Give me  a   boat     that can carry two
               F#m  Em7   Asus4 A      D Dsus4 D
And both shall row     my lo---ve  and I
 
[verse: 2] 
    G/B  A    D    G/B  Em7     Asus4 A    D  Dsus4  D
Oh, love is gentle          and love   is kind
     D  A/C#   Bm  Bm/A Bm/G     Em7        Asus4  A
The sweetest flower       when first it's new
     A    A/G   F#m  D7            G   G/F#  Em7
but love grows old      and waxes cold
          F#m   Em7      Asus4 A   D Dsus4  D
and fades away     like mor--ning dew
 
[solo: accordion] {same chords as verse 1]

[verse: 3] 
      G/B A  D   G/B  Em7       Asus4 A     D  Dsus4  D
There is  a ship        and she sails  the sea
    D  A/C#   Bm Bm/A Bm/G    Em7     Asus4  A
She's loaded  deep        as deep can be
     A  A/G F#m   D7                 G   G/F#  Em7
But not as  deep     as the love I'm in
           F#m   Em7  Asus4 A    D  Dsus4  D
I know not how      I sink   or swim
 
[verse: 4] 
     G/B   A  D     G/B  Em7   Asus4 A      D  Dsus4  D
The water is wide            I can't cross over
     D A/C# Bm Bm/A Bm/G  Em7      Asus4  A
And neither have        I wings to fly
     A  A/G F#m   D7                G   G/F#  Em7
Give me a   boat     that can carry two
               F#m  Em7   Asus4 A     D  Dsus4 D
And both shall row,    my love   and  I
     G         Asus4  A               D  Dsus4 D
And both shall row,      my love  and I
