Tonight I'm sad my heart is lonely 
D                  A 
For the only one I love 
     D               G

Under the weeping willow tree 
   D                   G

She told me that she   dearly loved me 
D                          A 
  How could I believe it untrue 
  D              G 
Until the angels   softly whispered 
D     /    A7        /     D 
  She will prove untrue to you
