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