Chords for Peter Yarrow - The Water is Wide

[D] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
The water is _ wide, [G] _
I cannot [D] get over, _ _ neither [Bm] have [A] I.
_ [G] _
The [Dm] wings [A] to fly, _ _ will [D] be [F#] a [F#m] boat, _ [G] _
that can [E] carry [F#m] two, _ _ [G] _
and both [A] shall row.
This is the White Peach Sycamore.
It does it how my [D] love and I.
A wonderful way to clear the boat.
_ _ _ _ _ _ [G] _
And she [D] sails the sea, she's loaded down, _ [B] _ [Bm] _ as [B] _ [G] _ _
deep, [A] _ but not as deep, _ _ [F#m] _ _ _ [G] _ _
as the love.
[F#] _ I know [D] not [E] how, I [Em] know [A] how, _ I sail course with.
I sail [D] course with.
See I learned that from him, [G] you know, you just get enthusiastic and you wave your hands around and everybody [D] sings. _ _
I will be doing that soon.
_ I saw him by the way the other day and I [N] sang him, I played him the version of Where Have All the Flowers Gone, a song you didn't ask for.
_ _ Both in Ukrainian and English that was used as part of the curriculum.
Where did come laugh at me, blowing in the wind and stuff like that.
And he sat there transfixed, he could not believe it because when it was written, you know,
the idea that somebody, because Ukrainian sounds like Russian, that you would hear that love between people together.
If we had a lot more time I'd play it for you and you would clap and you would rejoice,
and there would be happiness and friendliness and celebration in the village of our fathers like the smooth belly of a cow.
But we won't [D] do that. _ _ _ _ _
Go back to the song.
[Gm] I'll have you cross between Pete [D] and Peter. _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ There was another verse between there.
_ I lean my _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
back [Gm] against an oak, against [D] an oak, thinking it [Bm] was, thinking it [D] was,
a trusty [G] tree, a [A] trusty tree, but first it bent, but [D] first [F#m] it bent, and [Em] then it [G] broke.
_ [F#] _ [F#m]
Just [D] as, [G] _ just as [A] my love, true, false to me, [D] false to me.
Oh love is handsome, oh love is handsome, and love [G] is fine, [D] love is fine,
gay as a jewel, gay [Bm] as a jewel, when first it's you, when first [Em] it's you, but [G] love [A] grows old, but love [F#m] grows _ [G] old,
_ and [F#m] waxes cold and [Em] fades away, and [A] fades away,
_ _ _ _ and [D] won't be, the _ _ water is, I cannot [G] get on, _ _ [D] _ _
neither have I, _ [Bm] the [B] _ [Em] winds to fly,
the waves [A] to fly, will be a boat, [F#m] a boat [G] _ _ that can [F#] carry me, and [F#m] [D] boats [E] shall [Em] love, and boats [A] shall love, _ _ and I,
_ _ [D] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ Stop singing, it sounds so beautiful.
Once again.
_ The water is wild, [G] I cannot, _ _ _ [D] _
cannot cross the world, neither have I, neither [Bm] have I, the waves to fly, the [Em] waves to fly, _ [A] the boats _ [D] _ [F#] _
[F#m] _ _ [G] _ _ _ _ _ [F#] _
_ [F#m] [Em] shall row,
_ _ [D] _ [A] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ [D] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [A#] _
