VERSE 1 (AK):
 D MajorD        G+G
Tonight I'm sad my heart is lonely
D MajorD         A augmentedA
For the only one I love
   D MajorD        G+G
When will I see him, oh no never
D MajorD  /  A augmentedA (7 fr.)   /   D MajorD
Till we meet in heaven above


CHORUS (Together):
  D MajorD     G+G
So bury me beneath the willow
D MajorD            A augmentedA / A7A7 /
Under the weeping willow tree
  D MajorD          G+G
So she will know where I am sleeping
D MajorD /  A augmentedA     /     D MajorD
And perhaps she’ll weep for me

VERSE 2 (LL):
  D MajorD        G+G
She told me that she  dearly loved me
D MajorD             A augmentedA

 D MajorD       G+G
Until the angels  softly whispered
D MajorD   /  A augmentedA (7 fr.)   /   D MajorD
 She will prove untrue to you


CHORUS (Together):
  D MajorD     G+G
So bury me beneath the willow
D MajorD            A augmentedA / A7A7 /
Under the weeping willow tree

So she will know where I am sleeping
D MajorD /  A augmentedA     /     D MajorD
And perhaps she’ll weep for me

Tomorrow was our wedding day

D MajorD /  A augmentedA (7 fr.)    /   D MajorD
And no longer cares for me
