Liam Clancy - The Water Is Wide
CAPO: 3rd Fret
[INTRO:] C G C G C G C G
[VERSE 1:]
C F C
The water is wide, I cannot cross o'er
Am G
And neither have I wings to fly
C Am C
Give me a boat that will carry two
F C G C
And both shall row, my love and I
[VERSE 2:]
F C
A ship there is and she sails the sea
Am G
She's loaded deep, as deep can be
C Am C
But not so deep as the love I'm in
F C G C
I know not if I sink or swim
[VERSE 3:]
F C
Down in the meadows the other day
Am G
A-gathering flowers both rich and gay
C Am C
A-gathering flowers for the red and blue
F C G C
I little thought what love could do
[VERSE 4:]
F C
I put my hand into one soft bush
Am G
Thinking the sweetest flower to find
C Am C
I pricked my finger right to the bone
F C G C G C G
And I left the sweetest flower behind
[VERSE 5:]
C F C
A love is handsome and love is kind
Am G
Gay as a jewel when first it's new
C Am C
But when it's old and it grows quite cold
F C G C
And it fades away like the morning dew
