Under the willow tree, that's where I wait for you
A E7
to come back to me, but you're so far away.
A D
I just sit by here in the morning sun,
A E7 A
and I wait under the willow tree.
F#m B
It was a bitter seed that you left that day
E7
when you walked out my door screaming 'Get out of my face!'
F#m B
I took all your hurtin' words, I took your bad deeds
E7
and I buried 'em deep underneath that tree.

A E7
to come back to me, but you're so far away.
A D
I just sit by here in the morning sun,
A E7 A
and I wait under the willow tree.
F#m B
But such beauty grew from bitterness.
E7
Oh how it's helped to heal this heavy heart,
F#m B
oh and I want you to know, yeah that it's ok.
E7
If you come back I would welcome you like it was yesterday.

F#m B
Oh, but I'm not asking you for union, no-no.
E7
I want your promise to be true oh,
F#m B
'Cos I've been around the world, honey I've seen enough to know -
E7
there aint nobody else. I'd rather walk with you.

Under the willow tree, that's where I wait for you
A E7
to come back to me, but you're so far away.

I just sit right here and I play my guitar,
A E7 A
and I wait under the willow tree.
A E7 A
Under the willow tree.
