The Water Is Wide Chords by Niamh Parsons

[D] _ _ _ [G] _ _ [Em] _
[Bm] _ _ [D] _ [G] _ _ _
[D] _ _ _ _ [A] _ _
_ [D] _ _ _ The water is wide, [G] _
I [D] can swim,
[A] _
And [Bm] neither [C#] have [Bm] _
[G] I wheels [A] to fly. _ _
Build me [D] a boat _ [G] _
[A] that [Bm] can carry [D] two,
[G] _
And [D] both shall row _
[Am] my [D] love. _ _
_ There is a ship, _
[G] _ and she [D] sails the sea,
[A] She [Bm] sails so _ [G] deep, as [A] deep can be,
_ But [D] not so deep [G] as _ [A] [Bm] the love I need.
[G] _ I [D] know not how _ [G] to [D] sink or [G] swim,
[D] I lean my _ back [G] _ [D] against a loam,
[A] _ [Bm] Thinking [A] it was [Bm] [G] the [D] strongest tree,
[A] But [D] first it fell, _ [G] _ [A] _ _ [Bm] _ [D] _
_ [G] and [D] that's the way
Love _ treated me.
_ [A] For [D] love is handsome, _ [G] and love [D] is [C#m] fine,
_ [Bm] And [F#m] love's a jewel [Bm] _ [G] when [D] first it's new,
[A] But [D] love grows old, and [A] [Bm] it waxes old, _
[G#] _ And it [D] fades away [G] _ like [D] morning [G] dew.

[G] _ _ _ [Bm] _ _ _
[G] _ _ _ [D] _ _ _
_ [G] _ _ [D] _ _ _
[G] When [D] salty _ tunes, [G] _ _ [D] fire and glass,
[A] _ And [Bm] mussels grow _ _ [G] on [A] every tree,
When [D] cargo _ [G] shows [A] me [Bm] Christmas bells,
[G] _ [D] Then would I, _
_ [G] [D] my love. _
_ [G] The water [D] is wide, _ [G] I can [D] swim, _
[C#m] And [D] _ _ [Bm] neither [F#m] [Bm] have [G] I wheels [D] to [A] fly.
Build me [D] a boat [G] _ [A] that [Bm] can carry _ two,
[D] And both shall row [G] my love.
[Bm] _ [D]
And [G] _ both [D] shall row _ [G] my [A] [D] love.
