Capo 3rd fret

Standard (EADGBE)

Under the willow tree, that's where I wait for you

to come back to me, but you're so far away.

I just sit by here in the morning sun,

and I wait under the willow tree.

It was a bitter seed that you left that day

when you walked out my door screaming "Get out of my face!"

I took all your hurtin' words, I took your bad deeds

and I buried 'em deep underneath that tree.

Under the willow tree, that's where I wait for you

to come back to me, but you're so far away.

I just sit by here in the morning sun,

and I wait under the willow tree.

But such beauty grew from bitterness.

Oh how it's helped to heal this heavy heart,

oh and I want you to know, yeah that it's ok.

If you come back I would welcome you like it was yesterday.

Under the willow tree, that's where I wait for you

to come back to me, but you're so far away.

I just sit by here in the morning sun,

and I wait under the willow tree.

Oh, but I'm not asking you for union, no-no.

I want your promise to be true oh,

'Cos I've been around the world, honey I've seen enough to know -

there aint nobody else. I'd rather walk with you.

Under the willow tree, that's where I wait for you

to come back to me, but you're so far away.

I just sit right here and I play my guitar,

and I wait under the willow tree.

Under the willow tree.
