Subject: CRD Water Is Wide (James Taylor)
The Water Is Wide
Traditional
arr. James Taylor, . Grolnich @ 1991
[ Capo III in [F] ]
[ [D] ]
The water is wide [ [D] ]
I can't cross over [ [G] ]
And neither have [ [D/C#] ]
I wings to fly [ [Em] ]
Build me a boat [ [F#m] ]
That can carry two [ [D7sus] ]
And both shall row [ [F#m] ]
My love and I [ [D] ]
There is a ship [ [G] ]
And she sails the sea [ [G] ]
She's loaded deep [ [D/C#] ]
As deep can be [ [Em] ]
But not so deep [ [F#m] ]
As the love I'm in [ [D7sus] ]
I know not how [ [F#m] ]
To sink or swim [ [D] ]
Oh love is handsome [ [G] ]
And love is fine [ [G] ]
The sweetest flower [ [D/C#] ]
When first it's new [ [Em] ]
But love grows old [ [F#m] ]
And waxes cold [ [D7sus] ]
And fades away [ [F#m] ]
Like summer dew [ [Bm] ]
[instrumental] [ [G] ] [ [D/C#] ] [ [G] ]
Build me a boat [ [F#m] ]
That can carry two [ [D7sus] ]
And both shall row [ [F#m] ]
My love and I [ [Bm] ]
And both shall row [ [F#m] ]
My love and I [ [D] ]
