   B                E
My heart is sad and I'm in sorrow

   B               F#
For the only one I love

     B                    E
When shall I see him, oh, no, never

       B           F#     B
Till I meet him in heaven above
[Chorus]
    B                 E
Oh, bury me under the weeping willow

     B                        F#
Yes, under the weeping willow tree

   B                 E
So he may know where I am sleeping

    B               F#       B
And perhaps he will weep for me
[Verse]
     B               E
They told me that he did not love me

  B                        F#
I could not believe it was true

  B            E
Until an angel softly whispered

       B        F#      B
He has proven untrue to you
[Chorus]
    B                 E
Oh, bury me under the weeping willow

     B                        F#
Yes, under the weeping willow tree

   B                 E
So he may know where I am sleeping

    B               F#       B
And perhaps he will weep for me
--{instrumental interlude}-- (Just play the chord progression with somebody soloing over it) [Verse]
  B              E
Tomorrow was our wedding day

      B                F#
But-o'Lord oh where is he

     B                 E
He's gone to seek him another bride

       B        F#       B
And he cares no more for me
[Chorus]
    B                 E
Oh, bury me under the weeping willow

     B                        F#
Yes, under the weeping willow tree

   B                 E
So he may know where I am sleeping

    B               F#       B
And perhaps he will weep for me
--{instrumental interlude}-- (Just play the chord progression with somebody soloing over it) [Verse]
    B                 E
Oh, bury me under the violets blue

   B                F#
To prove my love to him

     B                E
Tell him that I would die to save him

        B      F#          B
For his love I never could win
[Chorus]
    B                 E
Oh, bury me under the weeping willow

     B                        F#
Yes, under the weeping willow tree

   B                 E
So he may know where I am sleeping

    B               F#       B
And perhaps he will weep for me
