D7M G6 D7M G6
Willow weep for me, willow weep for me,
D7M Em F#m Em A7
Bend your branches green along the stream that runs to sea;
G6 Gm7 Em B7 Em7 Em6 A D7M
Listen to my plea, listen willow, weep for me.
D7M G6 D7M G6
Gone my lover's dream, lovely summer's dream,
D7M Em F#m Em A7
Gone and left me here to weep my tears into the stream,
G6 Gm7 Em B7 Em7 Em6 A D7M
Sad as I can behear me willow, weep for me.
Bridge:
Gm Eb Dm D
Whisper to the wind and say that love has sinned;
Gm F Eb D7
Leave my heart a-breaking and making a moan;
Gm Eb Dm D7
Murmur to the night to hide her starry light
Gm F Eb A7
So none will see me sighing and crying all alone.
D7M G6 D7M G6
Weeping willow tree, weeping sympathy,
D7M Em F#m Em A7
Bend your branches down along the ground and cover me;
G6 Gm7
When the shadows fall,
Em B7 Em7 Em6 A Dm7
Bend, oh willow, and weep for me.
Bridge:

Weeping willow tree, weeping sympathy,

Bend your branches down along the ground and cover me;
A A9 A
When the shadows fall,
Am7 F#m B7 E A9 E A9 E
Bend, oh willow, and weep for me
