[Verse 1]
Dm               F             C                Dm
My love is gone, carried away. By the wind that shakes the willow,
Dm               F               C                Dm
And all the land is beaten hard. By the wind that shakes the willow.
Dm                  F            C            Dm
But I will hold her close to me, In heart and dearest memory.
Dm                    F                 C                Dm
And with her strength to steel my soul, Her love to warm my heart-strings.
Dm               F                   C                Dm
And I will stand where we once sang, Though cold wind shakes the willow.
Dm               F                   C                Dm
And I will stand where we once sang, Though cold wind shakes the willow.

[Verse 2]
Dm                F               C                Dm
Dear lass of mine who now is free to the wind that shakes the willow.
Dm                   F               C                  Dm
Let grace and beauty fill your wings with the wind that shakes the willow.
Dm                   F            C            Dm
Fore I will hold you close to me, in heart and dearest memory.
Dm                     F                 C                 Dm
And with your strength to steel my soul, your love to warm my heart-strings.
Dm               F                   C                Dm
And I will stand where we once sang, Though cold wind shakes the willow.
Dm               F                   C                Dm
And I will stand where we once sang, Though cold wind shakes the willow.

[Verse 3]
Dm              F                C                Dm
Be laid to rest until my own day by the wind that shakes the willow.
Dm                F            C                Dm
Lift up my hands, carried away by the wind that shakes the willow.
Dm                  F            C            Dm
Fore I had held you close to me, In heart and dearest memory.
Dm                     F                 C                 Dm
And with your strength to steel my soul, your love to warm my heart-strings.
Dm               F                   C                Dm
And I will stand where we once sang, Though cold wind shakes the willow.
Dm               F                   C                Dm
And I will stand where we once sang, Though cold wind shakes the willow.
