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

VERSE 3 (AK):
  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
   D                   G
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
And perhaps she?ll weep for me
