The Water Is Wide Lyrics

Intro: D Gmaj7 Em7 Asus4

The water is wide, I can't cross over
su
And neither have I wings to fly
m #
Give me a boat that can carry two
And both shall row, my love and I
Oh, love is gentle and love is kind
su
The sweetest flower when first it's new
#
but love grows old and waxes cold
and fades away like morning dew
(Solo with basically the same chords)
There is a ship and she sails the sea
ss4
She's loaded deep as deep can be
#
But not as deep as the love I'm in
I know not how I sink or swim
The water is wide, I can't cross over
su
And neither have I wings to fly
m #
Give me a boat that can carry two
And both shall row, my love and I
And both shall row, my love and I
