The Water is Wide The Seekers [C] The water is wide, [F] I can't cross [C] o'er Nor do I [Am] have light [F] wings to [G7] fly. Build me a [Em] boat that can carry [Am] two, [F]And both shall [C] row, [G7] my love and [C] I. A ship there [C] is, [F] and sails the [C] sea, She's loaded [Am] deep, [F] as deep can [G7] be But not so [Em] deep as the love I'm [Am] in, [F] And I know not [C] how [G7] I sink or [C] swim. When love is [C] young, [F] and love is [C] fine It's like a [Am] gem [F] when first it's [G7] new. But love grows [Em] old and waxes [Am] cold, [F]And fades a[C]way [G7] like the morning [C] dew. [C] The water is wide, [F] I can't cross [C] o'er Nor do I [Am] have light [F] wings to [G7] fly. Build me a [Em] boat that can carry [Am] two, [F]And both shall [C] row, [G7] my love and [C] I, [F]And both shall [C] row, [G7] my love and [C] I...[F] [C].
