Misc Traditional – The Water Is Wide (Guitar Acoustic)

C                  F
The water is wide and I cannot cross over.

C                  F
And neither have I, wings to fly.

Am                G
Give me a boat, that can carry two.

Am                G
And both shall row, my love and I.

C                 F
There is a ship and she sails the sea.

C                 F
She loaded deep, as deep as can be.

Am               G
But not as deep, as the love I'm in.

Am               G
I know not how, I sink or swim.

C                F
Love is gentle and love is kind.

C                 F
Bright as a jewel, when first it is new.

Am                 G
But love grows old, and waxes cold.

Am                G
And fades away, like morning dew.

C                  F
The water is wide and I cannot cross over.

C                  F
And neither have I, wings to fly.

Am                  G
Give me a boat, that can carry two.

Am                  G
And both shall row, my love and I.
