Start Jamming...
When I was young, 18 and 19 years old, I went on the road with my dad straight out of high school.
And the Carter family and Carl Perkins were on the road with him at the same time.
And I spent a lot of time in dressing rooms learning how to play guitar.
The one who really put in the time was Helen Carter.
And she taught me basically the [E] entire Carter family lexicon.
[C#] This is Bury Me Beneath the [A] Weeping Willow.
My heart is [C#m] sad [D] and I'm in sorrow [A] for the only one [E] I love.
[A] When [B] shall [F#m] I see [D] him?
Oh, no, never [A]
[E] till we meet in heaven above.
[A] Oh, [B] [A] bury me [D]
beneath the willow [A]
under the weeping [E] willow tree.
[A] So he [B] [A] may [C#] know [D] where I am sleeping [A]
and [E] perhaps he'll weep for me.
[B] [A] They
[C#m] [D]
[A]
[E] [A]
told me that [D] he did not love me.
[A]
I could not believe it [E] was true.
[A] Until [B] [A] an [B] [D] angel softly [A] whispered, he [E] has proven untrue [A] to [E] you.
[F#m] [A] Oh, bury me [D]
beneath the willow [A]
under the [E] weeping willow tree.
[A] So he may know [D] where I am sleeping [A]
and [E] perhaps he'll [A] weep for me.

[A] But Lord, oh Lord, where [E] is he?
[A] He's [B] gone [A] to [Bm] seek [D] him another prize.
[A]
And [E] he cares no [A] more for me.
Oh, bury me [D]
beneath the willow [A]
under the weeping willow [E]
tree.
[A] So he may know [D] where I am sleeping [A]
and [E] perhaps he'll weep [A] for me.
[E] And perhaps he'll weep [A] for me.
