Maura O'Connell - The Water Is Wide

[Verse 1]
C F C
The water is wide and I can't cross o'er
Am G
And neither have I wings to fly
Em Am
Give me a boat that can carry two
C F C
And both shall row, my love and I

[Verse 2]
C F C
For love is gentle and love is kind
Am G
And love is sweet when first it's new
Em Am
But love grows old and waxes cold
C F C
And fades away like morning dew

[Verse 3]
F C
There is a ship and it sails the sea
Am G
She's loaded deep, as deep can be
Em Am
But not as deep as the love I'm in
C F C
I know not how I'll sink or swim

[Verse 4]
C F C
But the water is wide and I can't cross o'er
Am G
And neither have I wings to fly
Em Am
Give me a boat that can carry two
C F C
And both shall row, my love and I
Am C F C
And both shall row, my love and I
