INTRO:   Gm


VERSE:
Gm              F      Gm
Go son, go down to the water
Gm                F       Gm
And see the women weeping there
Gm            F     Gm
Then go up into the mountains
Gm               F       Gm
The men they are weeping too.
Gm                     F     Gm
Father why are all the women weeping?
Gm                    F        Gm
They are all weeping for their men
Gm                    F         Gm
Then whay are all the men there weeping?
Gm               F       Gm
They are weeping back at them


CHORUS:
F         Gm              F                Gm
This is a weeping song, a song in which to weep
Gm            F             Gm
While all the men and women sleep
F         Gm
This is a weeping song but
  F                Gm
I won't be weeping long.


[Repeat to fade]
