Verse 1
AmF
It was just before the moon hung
AmF
Her weary heavy head in
AmF
The gallows and the graves of
AmF
The milky milky cradle
AmF
His tears have turned to poppies
AmF
A shimmer in the midnight
AmF
A flower in the twilight
AmF
A flower in the twilight
Chorus
AmC
And our screaming
GEm
Is in his screaming
AmCGEm
Our screaming in the willow tree.
Verse 2
AmF
They took him to the gallows
AmF
He fought them all the way though
AmF
And when they asked us how we knew
AmF
His name
AmF
We died just before him
AmF
Our eyes are in the flowers
AmF
Our hands are in the branches
AmF
Our voices in the breezes
Chorus
AmC
And our screaming
GEm
Is in his screaming
AmCGEm
Our screaming in the willow tree
Verse 3
AmF
We're waiting by the willow
AmF
Our milky milky cradle
AmF
Our lockets long have rusted
AmF
His picture worn and weathered
AmF
Our hair is in the garden
AmF
The roses in our toeses
AmF
Our heart are in the blossoms
AmF
Our eyes are in the branches
Chorus x2
AmC
And our screaming
GEm
Is in his screaming
AmCGEm
Our screaming in the willow tree
