The Water Is Wide Chords & Lyrics by Steeleye Span

The Water Is Wide

guitar chords lyrics

Steeleye Span

Another great song by Steeleye Span, this time Gay Woods takes over the lead vocals.


D G D
There is a ship that sails the sea
Bm A
It is loaded deep as deep can be.
D G D
But not so deep as the love I'm in
Bm A

That I know not if I sink or swim


D - G - D
Bm - A
D - G - D
Bm - A

D G D
The water is wide we cannot get o'er
Bm A
And neither have I wings to fly.
D G D
Give me a boat that will carry two
A D
That boat shall row my love and I
