The Water Is Wide

**Chords:**
C  G  Am  F

C                     G
The water is wide, I cannot get o'er
Am                    F
And neither have I wings to fly
C                    G
Give me a boat that can carry two
Am                  F
And both shall row, my love and I

C                      G
A ship there is, and she sails the sea
Am                     F
She's loaded deep, as deep can be
C                       G
But not so deep as the love I'm in
Am                  F
I know not if I sink or swim

C                     G
Oh love is handsome, and love is kind
Am                       F
And love's a jewel when it's first new
C                      G
But love grows old, and waxes cold
Am                  F
And fades away like morning dew

C                     G
The water is wide, I cannot get o'er
Am                    F
And neither have I wings to fly
C                    G
Give me a boat that can carry two
Am                  F
And both shall row, my love and I
