The Water Is Wide Chords by James Taylor

[Start]

[Verse]
Am7 C Csus4        F    Csus4                   
■   ■ The water is wide ■     I can't cross over
F             Dm   Bb            F   C
■ And neither have ■  I wings to fly ■
           Am7  Cm7            Bb  Bbmaj7 Gm7
Build me a boat that can carry two ■      ■  
         Am7       Gm7 Csus4         F
And both shall row ■   my love and I ■
                Bb                   F   Gm7
There is a ship ■  and she sails the sea ■  
F                   Bb    Gm7        
■ She's loaded deep ■  as deep can be
C            Am7  Cm7    Fsus4 Bbmaj7 F  Gm7
■ But not so deep as the love  I'm    in ■  
           Am7 Csus4           F   
I know not how ■     I sink or swim
Bb        F        Gm7 Csus4       F   
O love is handsome ■   and love is fine
             Dm7    Dm Bb      Gm7        Csus4 C
The sweetest flower ■  ■  when first it's new   ■


[Chorus]
               Am7 Cm7 Fsus4     Bbmaj7 Fmaj7 Gm7
But love grows old ■   and waxes cold   ■     ■  
          Am7  Gm7             Dm 
And fades away ■   like summer dew


[Inst]
Bb Am7 Gm7 Fmaj7 F Dm7 F Bb
■  ■   ■   ■     ■ ■   ■ ■ 
Bbmaj7 Gm7 Csus4 C
■      ■   ■     ■


[Verse]
           Am7  Cm7          Fsus4 Bbmaj7 Gm7
Build me a boat ■   that can carry two    ■  


[Chorus]
               Am7 Csus4         C   Dm7  
And both shall row ■     my love and ■   I
         C     Csus4             F Bb F
And both shall row my love and I ■ ■  ■
