Willow Weep For Me Chords by Etta James

Oh Lord, _ why did you send the darkness to me
and the shadows forever _ to be?
_ Where's the light I'm longing to see?
_ Love once met me by the old willow tree.
Now you've gone and left nothing to me.
Nothing but a sweet memory. _

[C] Willow, weep for me.
[A] [F#] Bend [Bm] your branches [G#] green [C#m] along the [B] stream
[G] that runs through the sea.

[D] lovely summer dream.
[F#] Gone [Bm] and left me [G#] here [E] to weep my [B] tears [Em] into the [Bm] stream.
Sad [D] as I [F#] can be, [Em] _
[E] hear me, [C] willow, and [C#m] weep [D#] for [F#] me.
_ [A] _ [D#] _
[Gm] _ [C#] _ [Dm] _ [B] Whisper to [A#] the [C#] wind and say that [G] love has sinned
[Em] to [B] leave my heart [A] a-breaking [E] and [C#] making a moan.
[Em] [F] Murmur [Dm] to the [E] [C#] night to hide [A#m] her starry lie
so [Em] none will [Dm] find me sighing and [D] crying [D#] all [G#] [Am] alone.
[B] Weep in, [Am] willow tree, [A] [C#] weep in [F#] sympathy.
_ [A] [F#] Bend [Bm] your branches [G#] down along [C#m] the ground [B] and [G] cover me.
