The Water Is Wide Traditional arr. James Taylor, D. Grolnich @ 1991
[ Capo III in F ]
[ DA4 ] 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 [ D7susD7BmG6 ] And both shall row [ F#m A ] My love and I [ D ]
There is A ship [ GAD ] 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 [ D7susD7BmG6 ] And fades away [ F#m A ] Like summer dew [ Bm ]
[instrumental] [ GD ] [ D/C#Bm ] [ GA4A ] Build me a boat [ F#m ] That can carry two [ D7susD7BmG6 ] 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 ]
