Am G Am
Go son, go down to the water
And see the women weeping there
Then go up into the mountains
The men, they are weeping too
[ Tab from: https://www.guitartabs.cc/tabs/n/nick_cave_and_the_bad_seeds/weeping_song_crd.html ]
Father, why are all the women weeping?
They are weeping for their men
Then why are all the men there weeping?
They are weeping back at them
G Am
This is a weeping song
A song in which to weep
Am G
While all the men and women sleep
This is a weeping song
But I won't be weeping long
Father, why are all the children weeping?
They are merely crying son
O, are they merely crying, father?
Yes, true weeping is yet to come
This is a weeping song
A song in which to weep
While all the men and women sleep
This is a weeping song
But I won't be weeping long
(It's the same chords here, as usual, but you can play softer or stress the bass
for this part if you like. )
O father tell me, are you weeping?
Your face seems wet to touch
O then I'm so sorry, father
I never thought I hurt you so much
(play as usual)
This is a weeping song
A song in which to weep
While we rock ourselves to sleep
This is a weeping song
But I won't be weeping long
But I won't be weeping long
But I won't be weeping long
But I won't be weeping long
Bye!
