Subject: Chord Req: Dave Van Ronk - 'Willie the Weeper' From: Nate Day Date: 29 Mar 09 - 01:27 AM Hello everyone, I've been trying to figure out the chords for Willie the Weeper for quite some time, but I have absolutely no idea. I'm looking for the version on "Van Ronk Sings," but any suggestions will help. Thanks! |

So in that case, you would put the capo on the 5th and then play in Em. Which would make the chords: Em B7 Em Ever heard a story bout willie the weeper Em B7 Em Willie the weeper was a chimney sweeper Em He had the habit, boys he had it bad B7 C7 B7 Em Listen while I tell you bout a dream he had That is all from memory, so I can't guarantee it's perfect, but It should get you pretty close. I also recommend trying different capo positions to suit your voice. Good Luck |
