The Water is Wide Harmonica Tab

-2 4 4 -4 5 -4 4 -3 ’ -2
The wa-ter is wide, I can’t cross o’er

-2 4 -3 4 -4 5 -5 -4
Nei-ther have I wings to fly

-4 5 -5 6 -5 5 -4 4 5
Give me a boat that can car-ry two

-4 4 -3 ’ -2 -2 -3 ’ 4 4
And both shall row, my love and I

-2 4 4 -4 5 -4 4 -3 ’ -2
A ship there is and she sails the sea
-2 4 -3 4 -4 5 -5 -4
She’s loaded deep as deep can be
-4 5 -5 6 -5 5 -4 4 5
But not so deep as the love I’m in
-4 4 -3 ’ -2 -2 -3 ’ 4 4
I know not if I sink or swim

-2 4 4 -4 5 -4 4 -3 ’ -2
I leaned my back against an oak
-2 4 -3 4 -4 5 -5 -4
Thinking it was a trusty tree
-4 5 -5 6 -5 5 -4 4 5
But first it bent and then it broke
-4 4 -3 ’ -2 -2 -3 ’ 4 4
So did my love prove false to me

-2 4 4 -4 5 -4 4 -3 ’ -2
I reached my finger into some soft bush
-2 4 -3 4 -4 5 -5 -4
Thinking the fairest flower to find
-4 5 -5 6 -5 5 -4 4 5
I pricked my finger to the bone
-4 4 -3 ’ -2 -2 -3 ’ 4 4
And left the fairest flower behind

-2 4 4 -4 5 -4 4 -3 ’ -2
Oh love be handsome and love be kind
-2 4 -3 4 -4 5 -5 -4
Gay as a jewel when first it is new
-4 5 -5 6 -5 5 -4 4 5
But love grows old and waxes cold
-4 4 -3 ’ -2 -2 -3 ’ 4 4
And fades away like the morning dew

-2 4 4 -4 5 -4 4 -3 ’ -2
Must I go bound while you go free
-2 4 -3 4 -4 5 -5 -4
Must I love a man who doesn’t love me
-4 5 -5 6 -5 5 -4 4 5
Must I be born with so little art
-4 4 -3 ’ -2 -2 -3 ’ 4 4
As to love a man who’ll break my heart

-2 4 4 -4 5 -4 4 -3 ’ -2
When cockle shells turn silver bells
-2 4 -3 4 -4 5 -5 -4
Then will my love come back to me
-4 5 -5 6 -5 5 -4 4 5
When roses bloom in winter’s gloom
-4 4 -3 ’ -2 -2 -3 ’ 4 4
Then will my love return to me
