The Water Is Wide
Pete Seegers Version

D MajorD            D MajorD    G6G6                D MajorD    D MajorD
The Water Is Wide   I Can Not Cross Over
D MajorD       B minorBm - Bm7Bm7  G6G6         A augmentedA    A7A7
And Neither Have     I Wings To Fly
F#M F#M                 B minorBm - Bm/ABm/A
But  Build Me A augmentedA Boat     That Can Carry Two
G6G6             D/F#D/F#    A7A7       D MajorD   D MajorD
And Both Shall Roam My Love And I

D MajorD            D MajorD G6G6                  D MajorD   D MajorD
A augmentedA Ship There Is  And She Sails The Sea
D MajorD      B minorBm -Bm7  G6G6           A augmentedA  A7A7
Sailing As Deep    As  Deep Can Be
F#M F#M                  B minorBm - Bm/ABm/A
But Not So Deep    As The Love I A minorAm In
G6G6       D/F#D/F#  A7A7      D MajorD    D MajorD
I Know Not How I Sink Or Swim

G+G         D MajorD   G6G6                  D MajorD   D MajorD
I Leaned My Back Against Some Young Oak
D MajorD         B minorBm -Bm7 G6G6           A augmentedA   A7A7
Thinking That He     Was A augmentedA Trusty Tree
F#M F#M             B minorBm - Bm/ABm/A
But First He Bent    And Then He Broke
G6G6       D/F#D/F#        A7A7      D MajorD   D MajorD
And Thus Did My    False Lo Ve And Me

G+G      D MajorD   G6G6              D MajorD      D MajorD
I Put My Hand Into Some Soft Greens
D MajorD        B minorBm - Bm7Bm7 G6G6        A augmentedA    A7A7
Thinking The Sweetest Flower To Find
        F#M F#M         B minorBm - Bm/ABm/A
I Pricked My    Fin -   Ger To  The Bone
G6G6       D/F#D/F#     A7A7     D MajorD     D MajorD
And Left The Sweetest Flower Alone

G+G        D MajorD       G6G6        D MajorD    D MajorD
Oh Love Is Handsome, Love Is Fine
D MajorD     B minorBm -Bm7     G6G6          A augmentedA   A7A7
Gay As A augmentedA Jewel, When First It Is New
F#M F#M           B minorBm - Bm/ABm/A
But Love Grows Old,    And Waxes Cold
G6G6     D/F#D/F#      A7A7    D MajorD    D MajorD
And Fades Away, Like Summer Dew

G+G        D MajorD     G6G6             D MajorD    D MajorD
The Seagulls Wheel, They Turn And Dive
D MajorD        B minorBm -Bm7   G6G6       As A7A7
The Mountain Stands Beside Th E MajorE Sea
F#M F#M                 B minorBm - Bm/ABm/A
This World We Know    Turns Round And Round
G6G6      D/F#D/F#       A7s     Ds  D MajorD
And All For Them - And You And Me.
