Chords for Phil Coulter feat. Maura O'Connell - The Water Is Wide

[D] Maura O'Connell has got one of the most exciting voices I know.
It has a wonderful, soaring quality and a feel that is _ unmistakably Irish. _
Now, Maura was a special guest with the orchestra on one of our recent tours of the United States,
and I still have vivid memories of her _ electrifying audiences with this next song,
The Water Is Wide. _
_ _ _ _ The water _ is _ wide, _ _ _ _ _ _ _ and I _ _ _ can't _ swim.
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ Neither have _ _ _ _ _ _ I _ _ eyes to fly. _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
Give me a boat, _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
both wind _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
and boat. _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
My love _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[G] _ [A] _ _ _ [D] _ _ _ _
_ [G] _ _ [A] is [D] gentle, _
_ [Bm] _ _ _ _ _ [Em] _ _
and love _ _ [D] is kind.
[G] _ _ _ _ [D] _ _
_ And _ _ [A] _ [Bm] love is _ _ [D] sweet _ _ [G] _
_ when [Em] _ first _ [A]
you see _ _ _ _ _ _ it's _ _ _ _ _ [F#m] _
_ _ _ _ _ [A] _ _ [D] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [G] _
cold.
_ _ _ _ _ [Em] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [F#m] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [Em] _
_ Like _ [A] _ moth [D] _
_ _ _ [G] _ _ _ _ [D] _
_ _ _ [G] with [A] her [D] _
_ _ _ [Bm] _ _ _ _ [Em]
sheath.
_ _ [G] _ _ _ _ [D] _
_ _ _ [G] _ _ _ _ [D]
She's _ a _ [A] _ [Bm] lord of _ _ [D] _ _ deep.
[G] _
_ _ _ [Em] _ _ _ _ [D] _
_ _ I'm [A] free _ _ of _ _ _ _ _ [F#m] _
_ _ deep.
_ _ _ [D] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [G] _
_ _ _ _ [D] I'm _ [Em] _
_ _ _ cold, _ _ [F#m] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [Em] _
_ I [A] _ sing cold.
[D] _
_ _ _ [G] _ _ _ _ [D] _
_ _ [G] The [A] water [D] is _ _ [Bm] wide, _ _ _ [Em] _
_ _ and I [G] _ _ [D] can't _ _ _ [G] _ _ _ [D] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [A] breathe.
[Bm]
Neither _ _ _ _ _ _ [G] _
_ _ _ [Em] _ _ _ _ [D] _
_ _ _ [A] _ _ _ _ _
_ give me _ _ [F#m] _
_ _ _ _ _ [A] _ _ [D] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [G] angels, _ _ _ _ [D] _ _ [Em] _ _
_ and _ nor [F#m] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [Em] _
_ _ _ _ [A] _ _ _ [D] _
_ _ _ [G] _ _ _ _ [D] _
_ _ _ [G] _ _ _ _ [A] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ a _ _ _ [D] hound.
