The Wailing of the Willow Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[C][F][C][F][C][F][C]

[Verse 1]
[C]Listen to
the wailing of the willows,
[F]Listen to me crying on my pillow
Crying [Dm]cause [D]I know my love
[G]is gone from [C]me[G]

[Verse 2]
[C]Living in a world of different places,
[F]Looking at a million different faces
[D]Yet I see a [Dm]face [G]in every face I [C]see
[Am]Love must lack a sense of [E]hu [Em]mor,[G]

[Verse 3]
It [Gm]laughs when [Bb]other people [F]cry[C]
[Fm]Love, would love to hear the ru[G]mor,[Db]
[A]That you[F] and[D] I have finally said
[Bbm]good b[Bbdim]ye[Am]
[C]I know

[Verse 4]
that every heart
was made for breaking
[F]And my love was ready for the takin',
[D]Still I won't complain [G]for someday
love will call again
[C][Em][A][Bbdim]

[Verse 5]
[D]Must [Dm]I take a memory as a token,
[Ddim]To replace a heart that love has broken
[G]Will [C]the wailing willow al[G]ways
[C]wee[F]p for[C] me[F]
Must [C]I see a face in every
[F]place I [G]see[C][F]
[C]Listen to the wailing of the
willow [F]tree

[Outro 1]
