DM7 G6 DM7 G6
Willow weep for me, willow weep for me,
DM7 Em F#m Em A7
Bend your branches green along the stream that runs to sea;
G6 Gm7 Em B+ Em7 Em6 A DM7
Listen to my plea, listen wil - low, weep-- for me.
DM7 G6 DM7 G6
Gone my lover's dream, lovely summer's dream,
DM7 Em F#m Em A7
Gone and left me here to weep my tears into the stream,
G6 Gm7 Em B+ Em7 Em6 A DM7
Sad as I can be--hear me, wil - low, 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.
DM7 G6 DM7 G6
Weeping willow tree, weeping sympathy,
DM7 Em F#m Em A7
Bend your branches down along the ground and cover me;
G6 Gm7
When the shadows fall,
Em B+ Em7 Em6 A DM7
Bend, oh wil - low, and weep-- for me.
Bridge:

Bend your branches down along the ground and cover me;

When the shadows fall,

Bend, oh willow, and weep------ for me.
