The Hanging Tree

Ebm       Abm
Are you, are you
Ebm             Bb7
Coming to the tree
     Ebm          Abm
They strung up a man
     Db                Ebm
They say who murdered three.
Ebm                 B
Strange things did happen here
      Ebm             Bbm
No stranger would it be
      Ebm      Abm
If we met at midnight
Bb7             Ebm
In the hanging tree.


 Ebm       Abm
Are you, are you
Ebm             Bb7
Coming to the tree
      Ebm              Abm
Where dead man called out
 Db           Ebm
For his love to flee.
Ebm                 B
Strange things did happen here
      Ebm             Bbm
No stranger would it be
      Ebm      Abm
If we met at midnight
Bb7             Ebm
In the hanging tree.


    Ebm       Abm
Are you, are you
Ebm             Bb7
Coming to the tree
       Ebm            Abm
Where I told you to run,
 Db              Ebm
So we'd both be free.
Ebm                 B
Strange things did happen here
      Ebm             Bbm
No stranger would it be
      Ebm      Abm
If we met at midnight
Bb7             Ebm
In the hanging tree.


    Ebm       Abm
Are you, are you
Ebm             Bb7
Coming to the tree
       Ebm            Abm
Wear a necklace of rope,
 Db           Ebm
Side by side with me.
Ebm                 B
Strange things did happen here
      Ebm             Bbm
No stranger would it be
      Ebm      Abm
If we met at midnight
Bb7             Ebm
In the hanging tree.
