I Will Not Wear The Willow

December 13th, 2009

Lyrics and Chords

Gmin11           F            Gmin11

I will not wear the willow

Gmin11           F             Eb maj7 Ebmaj13 Ebmaj7

Though my love is gone

Gmin11           F                       Gmin11

There’s a cool corner of the pillow

Fmin                           Gmin

I will lay my head on

Fmin                         Ebmaj7

I will lay my head on

Gmin11           F            Gmin11

I will not grieve in sorrow

Gmin11           F            Eb maj7 Ebmaj13 Ebmaj7

For what has come to pass

Gmin11           F            Gmin11

Turn my thoughts to tomorrow

Fmin                           Gmin

I will not cast the glass

Fmin                         Ebmaj7

Will not cast the glass

Fmin                           Gmin

I will not tremble

Bb                                      Ab

With the women in black

Gmin11           F            Gmin11

He’s gone to the devil

Dmin7

He won’t be coming back

Gmin11           F            Gmin11

Some say he took the shilling

Gmin11           F          Eb maj7 Ebmaj13 Ebmaj7

Some say he took to the sea

Gmin11           F            Gmin11

Some said there was a killing

Fmin                           Gmin

And the killer was he

Fmin                          Ebmaj7

The killer was he

Gmin11           F            Gmin11

I will not wear the willow

Gmin11           F             Eb maj7 Ebmaj13 Ebmaj7

Will not lower my eyes

Gmin11           F            Gmin11

Though it’s not on my pillow

Fmin                           Gmin

I know where he lies

Fmin                         Ebmaj7

I know where he lies

Fmin                           Gmin

I will not tremble

Bb                                      Ab

With the women in black

Gmin11           F            Gmin11

He’s gone to the devil

Dmin7

He won’t be coming back

Gmin11           F            Eb maj7 Ebmaj13 Ebmaj7

He won’t be coming back
