Capo on 3. 

A5                                     D5
Under the willow tree, that's where I wait for you 
        A5                      E5
to come back to me, but you're so far away. 
A5                         D5
I just sit by here in the morning sun, 
      A5          E5    A5
and I wait under the willow tree. 

         F#5                  B5   
It was a bitter seed that you left that day 
         E5
when you walked out my door screaming "Get out of my face!" 
                F#5              B5
I took all your hurtin' words, I took your bad deeds 
      E5  
and I buried 'em deep underneath that tree. 

          A5                           D5
Under the willow tree, that's where I wait for you 
        A5                      E5
to come back to me, but you're so far away. 
       A5                  D5            
I just sit by here in the morning sun,
      A5              E5     A5
and I wait under the willow tree.

         F#5              B5   
But such beauty grew from bitterness. 
     E5
Oh how it's helped to heal this heavy heart, 
         F#5              B5 
oh and I want you to know, yeah that it's ok. 
            E5
If you come back I would welcome you like it was yesterday. 

A5                                     D5
Under the willow tree, that's where I wait for you 
        A5                       E5
to come back to me, but you're so far away. 
       A5                  D5
I just sit by here in the morning sun, 
      A5          E5         A5
and I wait under the willow tree.

        F#5                    B5   
Oh, but I'm not asking you for union, no-no. 
       E5
I want your promise to be true oh, 
        F#5                      B5
'Cos I've been around the world, honey I've seen enough to know - 
      E5
there aint nobody else. I'd rather walk with you. 

A5                                     D5
Under the willow tree, that's where I wait for you 
A5                              E5  
to come back to me, but you're so far away. 
A5                           D5
I just sit right here and I play my guitar, 
A5          E5               A5
and I wait under the willow tree. 
A5         E5     A5
Under the willow tree.
