A                                     D
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                           D

         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.

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.

A                           D
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.
