  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  B5+ 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  B5+ Em7   Em6   A         D7M 
Sad as I can be  hear me, willow,    weep for me 
   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          Em    B5+ Em7   Em6       A         D7M 
When the shadows fall, bend, oh willow,    and weep for me 
   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 
  E             A9    E           A 
Weeping willow tree, weeping sympathy 
E                 F#m             G#m            F#m   B7 
Bend your branches down along the ground and cover me 
A        A9      A               Am7       F#m         B7       E     A9  E A9 E     
When the shadows fall, bend, oh willow, and weep for me
