Bury Me Under The Weeping Willow Tree by Natalie Merchant
Key:DD| Capo:0fr|
Capo 2 Key of D Capo 5 Key of FC
Well, my heart is sad
F
And I am lonesome
CG
For the only one I love
CF
When shall we meet? Oh no no never
CGC
Till we meet in heaven above
Chorus followed by InstrumentalCF
So bury me underneath the willow
CG
Under the weeping willow tree
CF
So that she may know where I am sleeping
CGC
And perhaps she’ll weep for me
C
Well, she told me that
F
She dearly loved me
CG
Oh my lord how can it be?
CF
Until the angels softly whispered,
CGC
“she will prove untrue to you”
Chorus followed by InstrumentalC
Tomorrow was to be
F
Our wedding day
CG
But oh my god Where can she be?
CF
She’s out a courting with another
CGC
And no longer cares for me
Chorus followed by Instrumental
