The Water Is Wide by Karla Bonoff
The Water Is Wide
(She plays Drop D, but it gets kinda difficult with low chords such as G and F#m)
Intro: D Gmaj7 Em7 Asus4
D Dsus4 D
G A D Gmaj7 Em7 Asus4 D Dsus4 D
The water is wide, I can't cross over
D A/C# Bm Bm/A G Em7 Asus4 A
And neither have I wings to fly
A A/G F#m D7 G G/f# Em7
Give me a boat that can carry two
F#m Em7 Asus4 A D
And both shall row, my love and I
G A D Gmaj7 Em7 Asus4 D Dsus4 D
Oh, love is gentle and love is kind
D A/C# Bm Bm/A G Em7 Asus4 A
The sweetest flower when first it's new
A A/G F#m D7 G G/f# Em7
but love grows old and waxes cold
Fm Em7 Asus4 D
and fades away like morning dew
[Solo with basically the same chords]
G A D Gmaj7 Em7 Asus4 D Dsus4 D
There is a ship and she sails the sea
D A/C# Bm Bm/A G Em7 Asus4 A
She's loaded deep as deep can be
A A/G F#m D7 G G/f# Em7
But not as deep as the love I'm in
F#m Em7 Asus4 D
I know not how I sink or swim
G A D Gmaj7 Em7 Asus4 D Dsus4 D
The water is wide, I can't cross over
D A/C# Bm Bm/A G Em7 Asus4 A
And neither have I wings to fly
A A/G F#m D7 G G/f# Em7
Give me a boat that can carry two
F#m Em7 Asus4 A D
And both shall row, my love and I
G Asus4 A D Dsus4 D
And both shall row, my love and I
