The Water Is Wide

Traditional

arr. James Taylor, D. Grolnich @ 1991

[ Capo III in F ]

[ D A4 ]

The water is wide [ D ]

I can't cross over [ G D ]

And neither have [ D/C# Bm ]

I wings to fly [ Em A4 A ]

Build me a boat [ F#m ]

That can carry two [ D7sus D7 Bm G6 ]

And both shall row [ F#m A ]

My love and I [ D ]

There is a ship [ G A D ]

And she sails the sea [ G D ]

She's loaded deep [ D/C# Bm ]

As deep can be [ Em A4 A ]

But not so deep [ F#m ]

As the love I'm in [ D7sus D7 Bm G6 ]

I know not how [ F#m A ]

To sink or swim [ D ]

Oh love is handsome [ G A D ]

And love is fine [ G A D ]

The sweetest flower [ D/C# Bm ]

When first it's new [ Em A4 A ]

But love grows old [ F#m ]

And waxes cold [ D7sus D7 Bm G6 ]

And fades away [ F#m A ]

Like summer dew [ Bm ]

[instrumental] [ G D ] [ D/C# Bm ] [ G A4 A ]

Build me a boat [ F#m ]

That can carry two [ D7sus D7 Bm G6 ]

And both shall row [ F#m A ]

My love and I [ Bm G6 ]

And both shall row [ F#m A ]

My love and I [ D ]
