The Water Is Wide Chords by Karla Bonoff

_ _ I'm going to do one of my most favorite old [Bm] folk songs [E] _ that I learned when I was a teenager.
[D] _ _ It's called The Water is Wide.
_ _ _ _ _ [Bm] _ _
_ [Em] _ _ _ _ [A] _ _ _
_ [D] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ The [G] water [D]
is _ wide _ _ _ _
[Em] I _ _ _ [A] _ [Em] can't [D] cross over _ _ _ _
_ _ _ We _ neither _ [Bm] _ _ have
[A] _ _ [D] _
_ [G] _ _ Our wings to [D] _ fly
_ _ Give _
_ [A] _ _ _ _ me [F#m] a boat _ _ _ _ _
[D] _ _ _ I can carry _ [G] _ two
_ _ [D] _ _
_ [Em] _ _ And _ both [F#m] shall _ row
_ _ _ [D] _
_ [Em] _ _ [D] My [A] _ love [D] and I _ _ _ _
_ _ _ Oh [G] love [A]
[D] is gentle _ _ _ _
And [Em] _ _ _ _ [A] _ love [D] is kind _ _ _ _
_ _ _ The _ _ sweetest [Bm] flower
_ _ [A] _ [D] When _ [G] _ _ _ _ _ first it's [D] _ _ new _ _
_ [A] _ _ _ _ _ Love [F#] grows old
[F#m] _ _ _ _
[D] _ _ _ _ And _ waxes [G] _ _ cold
_ [D] _ _
_ [Em] _ _ _ And fades _ [F#m] away
_ _ Like _
[D] _ [Em] _ _ _ _ [A] _ morning _ [D] _ dew _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [G] _ _ [D] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [Em] _ _ _ _ [A] _ _ _
_ [D] _ _ _ _ [G] _ _ [D] _

[G] _ _ _ _ _ [D] _ _ _
[Em] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[F#m] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ [D] _
[Em] _ _ _ _ [A] There _ _
[D] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [G] _ [D] is a ship
_ _ _ And _
_ [Em] _ _ she [A] _ sails the [D] sea _ _ _ _
She's _ _ _ _ _ loaded _ [Bm] _ _ deep
[D] _ _ _
[G] As _ _ _ [Em] deep [D] can _ _ be _ _
But _ [A] _ _ _ _ not [F#m] as _ _ deep _ _
[D] _ _ _ _ As the love [G] I'm _ in
_ _ [D] _
_ [Em] _ _ _ I know _ [F#m] not _ how _ _
_ [Em] _ _ _ I [A] sink or [D] _ swim
_ The _ _ _ _ _ _ [G] _
[D] water is _ wide _ _ _
I _ [Em] _ _ _ _ [A] _
can't [D] cross _ over _ _
_ And _ _ _ _ _ neither _ [Bm] _ _ have
[D] _
_ _ _ [G] _ _ Our [Em]
wings to [A] _ _ [D] fly _
_ _ [A] Give _ _ _ me [D] _ [F#m] a _ boat _
_ _ _ [D] _ _ _ I can carry _ _ [G] _ two _
_ [D] _ _ _ [Em] _ _ _
And both [F#m] shall row _
_ _ _ [D] _ [Em] _ _ My [A] _ love [D] and I _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _
[G] And both shall _ [A] row
[D] _ _
My _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ love and _ I _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [Dm] _ _ _
