The Water Is Wide
Traditional
arr. James Taylor, D. Grolnich @ 1991

[ Capo III in FF ]

[ D MajorD A4 ]
The water is wide [ D MajorD ]
I can't cross over [ G+G D MajorD ]
And neither have [ D/C# B minorBm ]
I wings to fly [ E minorEm A4 A augmentedA ]
Build me a boat [ F# minorF#m ]
That can carry two [ D7susD7sus D7D7 B minorBm G6G6 ]
And both shall row [ F# minorF#m A augmentedA ]
My love and I [ D MajorD ]

There is a ship [ G+G a D MajorD ]
And she sails the sea [ G+G D MajorD ]
She's loaded deep [ D/C# B minorBm ]
As deep can be [ E minorEm A4 A augmentedA ]
But not so deep [ F# minorF#m ]
As the love I'm in [ D7susD7sus D7D7 B minorBm G6G6 ]
I know not how [ F# minorF#m A augmentedA ]
To sink or swim [ D MajorD ]

Oh love is handsome [ G+G A augmentedA D MajorD ]
And love is fine [ G+G A augmentedA D MajorD ]
The sweetest flower [ D/C# B minorBm ]
When first it's new [ E minorEm A4 A augmentedA ]
But love grows old [ F# minorF#m ]
And waxes cold [ D7susD7sus D7D7 B minorBm G6G6 ]
And fades away [ F# minorF#m A augmentedA ]
Like summer dew [ B minorBm ]

[instrumental] [ G+G D MajorD ] [ D/C# B minorBm ] [ G+G A4 a ]
Build me a boat [ F# minorF#m ]
That can carry two [ D7susD7sus D7D7 B minorBm G6G6 ]
And both shall row [ F# minorF#m A augmentedA ]
My love and I [ B minorBm G6G6 ]
And both shall row [ F# minorF#m A augmentedA ]
My love and I [ D MajorD ]
