The Water is Wide
Traditional Scottish

[Verse 1]
             C          F           C   
The water is wide and I can't cross o'er
            Am              G 
And neither have I wings to fly
          Em                  Am
Give me a boat that can carry two
               C       F        C
And both shall row, my love and I


[Verse 2]
            C          F       C   
For love is gentle and love is kind
            Am                    G 
And love is sweet when first it's new
               Em            Am
But love grows old and waxes cold
           C        F       C   
And fades away like morning dew


[Verse 3]
                       F         C   
There is a ship and it sails the sea
             Am                G 
She's loaded deep, as deep can be
           Em                   Am
But not as deep as the love I'm in
           C        F       C
I know not how I'll sink or swim


[Verse 4]
                 C          F           C   
But the water is wide and I can't cross o'er
            Am              G 
And neither have I wings to fly
          Em                  Am
Give me a boat that can carry two
               C       F        C
And both shall row, my love and I
    Am         C       F        C
And both shall row, my love and I
