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 (7 fr.)     /      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 (7 fr.)      /     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

VERSE 3 (AK):
  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 (7 fr.)       /     D5
And no longer cares for me


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
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
