[Introduction]
A E7 X2
[Verse 1]
A A7 D
I'm as sad as the willow that weeps in the valley
A E7
Since you've gone since you've gone from my arms
A A7 D
I'm as sad as the cold wind that cries in the treetops
A E7 A
I'll be lonesome until you return
[Chorus]
E7 D
Come back come back come back to the valley
A E7
Come back to this poor cowboy's arms
A A7 D
I will weep like the willow that weeps in the valley
A E7 A
I'll be lonesome until you return
[Chorus]
E7 D
Come back come back come back to the valley
A E7
Come back to this poor cowboy's arms
A A7 D
I will weep like the willow that weeps in the valley
A E7 A
I'll be lonesome until you return
