bury me under the weeping willow chords
rosanne cash ( traditional , first recorded by henry whitter in 1923 )
capo i
A D A E A
A D
well my heart is sad and i Am lonesome
A E ( E7 )
for the only one i love
A D
when shall i see him , oh , no never
E A
till we meet in heaven above
A D
oh bury me beneath the willow
A E ( E7 )
under the weeping willow tree
A D
so that he may know where i Am sleeping
E A
and perhaps he’ll weep for me
A D A E A
A D
they told me that he did not love me
A E ( E7 )
i could not believe it was true
A D
until an angel softly whispered
E A
he has proven untrue to you
A D
oh bury me beneath the willow
A E ( E7 )
under the weeping willow tree
A D
so that he may know where i Am sleeping
E A
and perhaps he’ll weep for me
A D A E A
A D
tomorrow was our wedding day
A E ( E7 )
but oh lord , lord where is he?
A D
he’s gone to see him another bride
E A
and cares no more for me
A D
oh bury me beneath the willow
A E ( E7 )
under the weeping willow tree
A D
so that he may know where i Am sleeping
E A
and perhaps he’ll weep for me
E A
and perhaps he’ll weep for me
