[Intro] Vanessa Piano Solo
F#m A C#m B  x6


[Verse 1]
F#m    A
Find a love
C#m        B
Go build a cabin
     F#m        A
Find land and a tree
C#m        B
Carve in a wish
        F#m
On your knees planting
A         C#m
seeds The dirt making
B              F#m   A        C#m B
rows where the devil don’t see


[Verse 2]
   F#m      A
My love I agree so
C#m      B
lucky to find you
    F#m A
But memories they
C#m          B
don’t stay behind us
    F#m        A
Our minds are strong
      C#m    B
could it be enough
          F#m
To bring strength
       A    C#m B
to the bones?


[Chorus 1]
D           A
Our weeping willow
   F#m      E
is hanging above me
      D           A
On my back in the sun
      F#m      E
would it fall upon me
  D             A
I won’t let you down and
F#m          E                F#m A C#m
man you will keep safe my love
     B           F#m A C#m B
keep safe my love


[Verse 3]
F#m     A
Sow the earth
  C#m        B
A blanket of bounty
       F#m        A
In the distance a hearse
    C#m          B
The devil drives empty
     F#m    A
In a babies eyes
    C#m    B
The ritual purifies
F#m   A     C#m B
every design


[Chorus 2]
D           A
Our weeping willow
   F#m      E
is hanging above me
      D           A
On my back in the sun
     F#m       E
when you lay beside me
  D             A
I won’t let you down and
F#m          E            D   A
man you will keep safe my love
F#m          E            D   A
man you will keep safe my love
F#m          E
man you will keep safe my love

[Chorus 3]
D           A
Our weeping willow
   F#m      E
is hanging above me
      D           A
On my back in the sun
     F#m       E
when you lay beside me
  D             A
I won’t let you down and
F#m          E
man you will keep safe
D         A
  let you down
    F#m          E
and man you will keep safe
D         A
  let you down
    F#m          E            F#m A C#m B
and man you will keep safe my love
