The Water Is Wide Chords by Niamh Parsons

_ [D] _ _ _ _ [G] _ _ _
_ [Bm] _ _ _ [D] _ [G] _ _ _
_ [D] _ _ _ _ _ [A] _ _
_ _ [D] _ _ _ _ _
The water is wide, _ [G] _
I [D] can swim
_ _ _ [A] _
And neither [Bm] _ [C#] have _ [Bm]
I [G] wheels [A] to _ fly _
Build me [D] a boat _ [G] _
[A] that can [Bm] carry [D] two _
[G] _ And both [D] shall _ row, _ [Am] my _ [D] love
There [G] _ _ _ [D] is a ship _
_ [G] _ and she [D] sails the sea
_ [A] She _ [Bm] sails so _ deep, [G] as deep [A] can _ be
_ But not [D] so deep _ [G] as [A] the love [Bm] I need
_ [G] _ I know [D] not how _ [G] _ to sink [D] or _
_ [G] swim
I [D] lean my _ _ back [G] _ [D] against a knoll
[A] _ _ Thinking [Bm] _ [A] it was [Bm] _ [G] the [D] strongest _ _
_ [A] stream
But [D] first it built [G] a _ [A] _ [Bm] _ _ _
[D] river
[G] And _ [D] that's the _ way _ [G] [D] love _ treated me
_ _ [A] For love [D] is handsome _ _ [G] and love [D] is fine
_ [C#m] _ _ And [Bm] love's a jewel [F#m] _ [Bm] _ [G] when [D] first it's new
[A] _ But love [D] grows old, _ _ _ [A] it [Bm] waxes old _
_ [G#] _ And it fades [D] _ away _ [G] like _ _ [D] morning dew
_ [G] _ [D] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [G] _ _ _ [D] _ _ _ _
_ [A] _ _ _ _ [Bm] _ _ _
_ _ _ [G] _ _ [A] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [D] _ _ _
[G] _ _ _ _ [Bm] _ _ _ _
[G] _ _ _ _ [D] _ _ _ _
_ _ [G] _ _ [D] _ _ _ _
_ [G] When _ [D] solstice is _ _ [G] _ _ [D] far in land
_ [A] _ And [Bm] mussels grow _ _ on [G] _ [A] every _ _ tree
When [D] cockerel _ _ [G] shouts me [A] _ [Bm] Christmas _ bells
_ Then would [D] I lose _ [G] _ my [D] _ love for [G] thee
The water [D] is wide, _ [G] I can [D] swim _
_ [A] And _ _ [Bm] neither _
[F#m] _ [Bm] have I _ [G] [D] wheels to _ [A] fly
Build me a [D] boat _ [G] _ [A] that can [Bm] carry _ two
_ And [D] both shall row, [G] _ my love
[Bm] _ [F#m] And _ [G] both _ _ [D] shall row, _ _ [G] _ my _ [D] love
_ _ _ _ _ [G] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [D] _
