Mcguinn Roger - The Water Is Wide guitar tab

Roger McGuinn The Water Is Wide traditional

G C G

The water is wide I can not cross over

Em D

And neither have I wings to fly

G Bm Em C

But build me a boat that can carry two

Am D G

And both shall roam my love and I

G C G

A ship there is and she sails the sea

Em D

Sailing as deep as deep can be

G Bm Em C

But not so deep as the love I am in

Am D G

I know not how I sink or swim

G C G

I leaned my back against some young oak

Em D

Thinking that he was a trusty tree

G Bm Em C

But first he bent and then he broke

Am D G

And thus did my false love and me
