VERSE 1 (AK): 
  D5                G5          
Tonight I'm sad my heart is lonely 
D5                  A5 
For the only one I love 
     D5               G5 
When will I see him , oh no never 
D5   /   A5       /      D5 
Till we meet in heaven above 
 
CHORUS (Together): 
   D5         G5 
So bury me beneath the willow 
D5                        A5 / A5 / 
Under the weeping willow tree 
   D5                   G5 
So she will know where I am sleeping 
D5  /   A5          /         D5 
And perhaps she?ll weep for me 
 
VERSE 2 (LL): 
    D5                G5 
She told me that she   dearly loved me 
D5                          A5 
  How could I believe it untrue 
  D5              G5 
Until the angels   softly whispered 
D5     /    A5        /     D5 
  She will prove untrue to you 
 
CHORUS (Together): 
   D5         G5 
So bury me beneath the willow 
D5                        A5 / A5 / 
Under the weeping willow tree 
   D5                   G5 
So she will know where I am sleeping 
D5  /   A5          /         D5 
And perhaps she?ll weep for me

  D5              G5 
Tomorrow was our wedding day 
   D5                         A5 
Oh god, oh god, where can he be 
     D5              G5 
He?s out a-courting with another 
D5  /   A5         /     D5 
And no longer cares for me

So bury me beneath the willow 
D5                        A5 / A5 /  
Under the weeping willow tree 
   D5                   G5
