Water Is Wide, The (Campfire Song)

The Gwater is wide, CI can't cross Go'er,

nor do I Emhave Clight wings to Dfly.

Build me a Bmboat that can carry Emtwo, C

and both shall Grow, Dmy love and GI.

A ship there Gis, Cand sails the Gsea,

she's loaded Emdeep, Cas deep can Dbe,

But not so Bmdeep as the love I'm Emin, C

and I know not Ghow DI sink or Gswim.

When love is Gyoung, Cand love is Gfine,

it's like a Emgem Cwhen first it's Dnew.

But love grows Bmold and waxes Gcold, C

and fades aGway Dlike the morning Gdew.

The Gwater is wide, CI can't cross Go'er,

nor do I Emhave Clight wings to Dfly.

Build me a Bmboat that can carry Emtwo, C

and both shall Grow, Dmy love and GI.
