Описание: This is a tutorial on how to play "The Water Is Wide" as I played it here:    • The Water Is Wide (traditional)   I hope this is helpful to some of you. The chords and lyrics I used in my performance are below:

The Water Is Wide
Capo II (Traditional)
Intro:
A7sus4 F#m7 Asus2 Asus4 D

Dsus2 D G G6 D
The water is wide, I can't cross over
D/C# BmaddE G A7sus4 A7
And neither have I, the wings to fly
F#m D7 Bm G
Build me a boat that can carry two
A7sus4 G F#m7 Asus2 Asus4 D
And both shall row my love and I

G A D G G6 D
There is a ship and she sails the sea
D/C# BmaddE G A7sus4 A7
She's loaded deep as deep can be
F#m D7 Bm G
But not as deep as the love I'm in
A7sus4 G F#m7 Asus2 Asus4 D
I know not how I sink or swim.

G A D G G6 D
Oh love is gentle and love is kind
D/C# BmaddE G A7sus4 A7
The sweetest flower when first it's new
F#m D7 Bm G
But love grows old and waxes cold
A7sus4 G F#m7 Asus2 Asus4 D
And fades away like summer dew.

G A D G G6 D
I lean my back against an oak

D/C# BmaddE G A7sus4 A7
Thinking it was a trusty tree
F#m D7 Bm G
But first it bent and then it broke
A7sus4 G F#m7 Asus2 Asus4 D
Just as my love proved false to me.

Interlude:
Dsus2 D G G6 D
D/C# BmaddE G A7sus4 A7

F#m D7 Bm G
Build me a boat that can carry two
A7sus4 G F#m7 Asus2 Asus4 Bm G
And both shall row my love and I
A7sus4 G F#m7 Asus2 Asus4 D
And both shall row my love and I.
