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