The Water Is Wide taby ukulele według Traditional (Chwyty barytonu)

G   C               G 
The water is wide, I can't cross o'er,
          Em  C              D
nor do I have light wings to fly.
            Bm                 Em  C
Build me a boat that can carry two, 
                G  D            G
and both shall row, my love and I.


              G  C              G 
A ship there is, and sails the sea,
              Em  C            D
she's loaded deep, as deep can be,
            Bm                  Em  C
But not so deep as the love I'm in,
                G  D          G
and I know not how I sink or swim.


              G    C             G 
When love is young, and love is fine,
             Em  C               D
it's like a gem when first it's new.
               Bm             Em  C
But love grows old and waxes cold, 
            G  D                 G
and fades away like the morning dew.


              G   C               G 
The water is wide, I can't cross o'er,
          Em  C              D
nor do I have light wings to fly.
            Bm                 Em  C
Build me a boat that can carry two, 
                G  D            G
and both shall row, my love and I.
