Capo on 3.

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.
