The Water Is Wide Chords by Niamh Parsons

_ _ _ _ _ [G] _ _ _
_ [Bm] _ _ _ _ [G] _ _ _
_ [D] _ _ _ _ [A] _ _ _
_ [D] _ _ _ _ _ The water is wide, _ _ [G] _ I can [D] swim
_ _ [B] _ And near [Bm] the high [B] _ [Bm] hills _ [D] _
[A] to fly
_ _ Build me a [D] boat _ [G] _ _ [A] _
_ [Bm] _ or two
[G] _ And both [D] shall row, [A] _ my love
[D] _ _ _ _ [A] _ _
There [D] is a ship _ [G] _ and she [D] sails the sea
[A] _ She [Bm] sails so _ deep, [D] as [A] deep can be
_ _ But not so [D] _ deep [G] _ _ [A] as the love [Bm] I need
_ [D] _ I know not how _ _ to sink or _ [G] swim
_ I lean [D] my _ back _ _ against the _ loam
[A] _ Thinking _
[Bm] it [B] _ _ [G] was the strongest [A] _ beam
_ But first it fell, [D] _ _ [G] _ _ [A] _ [Bm] it broke
[A] _ _ [G] And that's the [D]
way _ love _ _ treated me
[A] _ _ For love [D] is handsome _ _ [G] and love [D] is fine
_ [C#m] And _ [Bm] _ love's a jewel _ [G] when [A] first it's new
_ But love [D] grows old, _ _ it [Bm] waxes full _
[G#] _ And it [D] fades away _
[G] like _ _ [D] morning dew _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [A] _
_ _ _ _ [Bm] _ _ _ _
_ [G] _ _ [A] _ _ _ _ _
_ [E] _ [D] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [Bm] _ _ _ _ [G] _ _
_ _ [D] _ _ _ _ [A] _ _
_ [D] _ _ _ _ [G] When _ [D] salty _ _ _ tunes _ fall in black
_ [A] _ And [Bm] mussels grow _ _ _ [G] on [A] every tree
_ _ When [D] cockles _ [G] shells make [Bm] Christmas bell
_ _ Then would [D] I, _ _ [G] _ [B] my _
[D] love
_ _ _ The water is wide, _ [G] I can [D] swim
_ _ _ [A] And [Bm] near the [F#m] _ high _ [A] hills to _ fly
Build me a [D] boat or _ _ [G] _ two
[Bm] _ _
_ _ _ [G#] And [D] both shall row, [G] _ my love
[Bm] _
[D] And _ _ [G] _ both shall row, _ _ _ my love _
