INTRO: D / / / G / / / D / A / D / / / VERSE 1 (AK):
  D                G         
Tonight I'm sad my heart is lonely

D                  A
For the only one I love

     D               G
When will I see him, oh no never

D   /   A(7)     /      D
Till we meet in heaven above
CHORUS (Together):
   D         G
So bury me beneath the willow

D                        A / A7 /
Under the weeping willow tree

   D                   G
So she will know where I am sleeping

D  /   A          /         D
And perhaps she’ll weep for me
VERSE 2 (LL):
    D                G
She told me that she   dearly loved me

D                          A
  How could I believe it untrue

  D              G
Until the angels   softly whispered

D     /    A(7)      /     D
  She will prove untrue to you
CHORUS (Together):
   D         G
So bury me beneath the willow

D                        A / A7 /
Under the weeping willow tree

   D                   G
So she will know where I am sleeping

D  /   A          /         D
And perhaps she’ll weep for me

Tomorrow was our wedding day

   D                         A
Oh god, oh god, where can he be

     D              G
He’s out a-courting with another

D  /   A(7)       /     D
And no longer cares for me

So bury me beneath the willow

D                        A / A7 / 
Under the weeping willow tree

   D                   G
So she will know where I am sleeping

D  /   A          /         D
And perhaps she’ll weep for me
