Weeping Willow chords by Alison Krauss

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 fr.)   /   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 fr.)   /   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

 D       G
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 fr.)    /   D
And no longer cares for me


CHORUS (Together):
  D     G
So bury me beneath the willow
D            A / A7 /
Under the weeping willow tree

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