The Water Is Wide

D       G      D      G

[Verse 1]
D                  G
The water is wide
G                  D
And I can't cross over
D            Bm              Em    A
And neither have I wings to fly
A            D                 
Build me a boat that can carry 
Bm      G
two
G               D    A
And both shall row
A           G      D
My love and I

[Verse 2]
D               G
There is a ship
G                  D
And she sails the sea
D          Bm              Em    A
A boat as deep as deep can be
A           D                    
But not as deep as this hole I'm 
Bm     G
in

And I know not if,   I sink or 
G       D
swim

[Verse 3]
D                     G          
And I lean my back    against 
   D
some oak
D            Bm           Em     A
Thinking it was a trusty tree
A             D
But first it bent
G             Bm     G
And then it broke
G          D      A              
As my own love     proved false to 
  D
me

[Verse 4]
D
Love is gentle
G            D
And love is kind
D            Bm
And love is young
             Em     A
And love is new
A            D  G            Bm
Love grows cold as it grows old
     G

G             D   G             
Til it fades away like the 
    Bm      G
mornin' dew

[Verse 5]
D
And the water is wide
G                  D
And I can't cross over
D        Dm              Em     A
Neither have I wings to fly
A           D   G               
Build me a boat that can carry 
Bm       G
two
G               D
And both shall row
A           G     D
My love and I
G               D
And both shall row
A           G       D
My love and I
