            The Water Is Wide chords
James Taylor  1991 (O Waly, Waly  17th century Scottish / English folk song)
Capo III
D G F#m  A7
             D    G
The water is wide
              D
I can't cross over
            Bm   G
And neither have
           A7sus4  A7
I wings to fly
           F#m   Am7
Build me a boat
               G   Em
That can carry two
               F#m  A7sus4
And both shall row
            D
My love and I
           D    G
There is a ship
                  D
And she sails the sea
             Bm   G
She's loaded deep
            A
As deep can be
           F#m   Am7
But not so deep
                G  Em
As the love I'm in
           F#m  A7sus4
I know not how
          D   D Dsus4 D(hammer)
I sink or swim
           D       G
Oh love is handsome
            D
And love is fine
             Bm     G
The sweetest flower
                A
When first it's new
               F#m
But love grows old
          D    G
And waxes cold
           F#m  A7
And fades away
     G      D
Like summer dew
D G D Bm G A
           F#m
Build me a boat
               D   G
That can carry two
               F#m  A7
And both shall row
   G        D
My love and I
               F#m  A7
And both shall row
   G        D
My love and I
