The Water Is Wide

(Capo 3th fret)

             Amaj7  Bm/A  Amaj7(5th fr) Bm/A
The water is wide
                Amaj7   Bm/A  Amaj7(5th fr)  Bm/A
And I can not cross over
       Amaj7 Bm/A   Amaj7(5th fr)  E7
Nor do I           have wings     to fly
            Amaj7  Bm/A Amaj7(5th fr) Bm/A
Build me a boat
                 Amaj7  Bm/A Amaj7(5th fr) Bm/A
That could carry two
               Amaj7  Bm/A Amaj7(5th fr) F(addG)
And both shall row
         Amaj7     Bm/A Amaj7(5th fr) Bm/A
My love and I
            Amaj7  Bm/A Amaj7(5th fr) Bm/A
There is a ship
                  Amaj7  Bm/A Amaj7(5th fr) Bm/A
And she sails the seas
                Amaj7  Bm/A Amaj7(5th fr) Bm/A
She's burdened deep
            E7
As deep can be
           Amaj7  Bm/A Amaj7(5th fr) Bm/A
But not as deep
                Amaj7  Bm/A Amaj7(5th fr) Bm/A
As the love I'm in
               Amaj7  Bm/A Amaj7(5th fr) Bm/A
And I know not if
        Amaj7  Bm/A Amaj7(5th fr) Bm/A
I sink or swim
              Amaj7  Bm/A Amaj7(5th fr) Bm/A
But love is gentle
            Amaj7  Bm/A Amaj7(5th fr) Bm/A
And love is kind
         Amaj7  Bm/A Amaj7(5th fr) Bm/A
As to a jewel
                 E7
When first it's new
                Amaj7  Bm/A Amaj7(5th fr) Bm/A
But love grows old
                  Amaj7  Bm/A Amaj7(5th fr) Bm/A
And it fades with time
              Amaj7  Bm/A Amaj7(5th fr) F(addG)
And it fades away
              Amaj7 Bm/A E7
Like morning dew
            Amaj7  Bm/A Amaj7(5th fr) Bm/A
Build me a boat
                  Amaj7  Bm/A Amaj7(5th fr) Bm/A
That could carry two
                Amaj7  Bm/A Amaj7(5th fr) F(addG)
And both shall row
            Amaj7 F(addG)
My love and I
            Amaj7 F(addG)
My love and I
            Amaj7
My love and I
