<< Back to Pete Seeger Song List

Version 1 Version 2 Version 3

            [Intro]
C

[Verse 1]
             C    F               C
The Water Is Wide I Can Not Get Over
     C/B    Am      F        G  G7
And Neither Have I Wings To Fly
           Em       Am           Am7/G
Give Me A Boat That Can Carry Two
F              G   G7            C(add11) C
And Both Shall Roam  My Love And I

[Verse 2]
             C   F                 C
A Ship There Is And She Sails The Sea
       C/B   Am      F        G  G7
She's Loaded Deep As Deep Can Be
           Em          Am          Am7/G
But Not So Deep As The Love, I Am In
F              G  G7          C(add11) C
And I Know Not How  I Sink Or Swim

[Verse 3]
           C       F                   C
I Leaned My Back Up Against Some Young Oak
C/B         Am    F       G  G7
Thinking He Was A Trusty Tree
             Em       Am           Am7/G
But First He Bent And Then He Broke
F            G  G7             C(add11) C
And Thus Did My  False Love To Me

[Verse 4]
         C    F              C
I Put My Hand Into Some Soft Bush
C/B          Am       F          G  G7
Thinking The Sweetest Flower To Find
             Em     Am         Am7/G
I Pricked My Finger To The Bone
F            G       G7         C(add11) C
And Left The Sweetest  Flower Alone

[Verse 5]
          C          F           C
Oh Love Is Handsome, And Love Is Fine
    C/B   Am           F          G  G7
Gay As A Jewel, When First It Is New
               Em      Am        Am7/G
But Love Grows Old And Waxes Cold
F          G   G7             C(add11) C
And Fades Away,  Like Summer Dew


[Repeat First Verse]
