[D] [Dsus4] [D]
The [G]water [A]is [D]wide, [Gmaj7] [Em7] I [Asus4]can't cross [D]over[Dsus4] [D]
And [D]nei[A/C#]ther h[Bm]ave [Bm/A] [G] I [Em7]wings to [Asus4]fly[A]

I know not [F#m]how [Em7] I [Asus4]sink or [D]swim
The [G]water [A]is [D]wide, [Gmaj7] [Em7] I [Asus4]can't cross [D]over[Dsus4] [D]

Give [A]me [A/G]a [F#m]boat [D7] that can carry [G]two[G/F#] [Em7]
And both shall [F#m]row, [Em7] my [Asus4]love [A]and [D]I
And [G]both shall [Asus4]row, [A] my love and [D]I[Dsus4] [D]
