Chords

[Intro] C F C G7 C F C G7 C [Verse 1]

   C                F
My love is dead and buried yonder

  C                        G7
Beneath the weeping willow tree

     C                  F
What wrecks my life and makes me wonder

     C         G7       C
Is because she died for me

[Chorus]

     C              F
Then lay me down in death beside her

          C                G7
For she's all this life to me

     C              F
That I may join and e'er caress her

     C      G        C
In a land beyond the sea

[Instrumental] C F C G7 C F C G7 C [Verse 2]

C                F
Yes, she died before I told her

       C                  G7
That I loved her true and kind

    C              F
And that I did not mean to fool her

    C             G7   C
But she'd left me to repine

[Chorus]

     C              F
Then lay me down in death beside her

          C                G7
For she's all this life to me

     C              F
That I may join and e'er caress her

     C      G7       C
In a land beyond the sea

[Instrumental] C F C G7 C F C G7 C [Verse 3]

     C            F
God, shall I ever get forgiveness

        C                 G7
For the deeds that I have done

    C              F
And meet up yonder her sweet charming

      C        G7      C
For I know she bids me come

[Chorus]

     C              F
Then lay me down in death beside her

          C                G7
For she's all this life to me

     C              F
That I may join and e'er caress her

     C      G7       C
In a land beyond the sea
