Am       Dm
Are you, are you
Am             E
Coming to the tree
         Am            Dm
Where they strung up a man
     E           Am
They say murdered three.
Am                 F
Strange things did happen here
      Am              E
No stranger would it seem
      Am        Dm
If we met up at midnight
E             Am
In the hanging tree.


 Am       Dm
Are you, are you
Am             E
Coming to the tree
      Am            Dm
Where the dead man called out
 E           Am
For his love to flee.
Am                 F
Strange things did happen here
      Am              E
No stranger would it seem
      Am        Dm
If we met up at midnight
E             Am
In the hanging tree.


    Am       Dm
Are you, are you
Am             E
Coming to the tree
       Am            Dm
Where I told you to run,
 E           Am
So we'd both be free.
Am                 F
Strange things did happen here
      Am              E
No stranger would it seem
      Am        Dm
If we met up at midnight
E             Am
In the hanging tree.


    Am       Dm
Are you, are you
Am             E
Coming to the tree
       Am            Dm
Wear a necklace of rope,
 E           Am
Side by side with me.
Am                 F
Strange things did happen here
      Am              E
No stranger would it seem
      Am        Dm
If we met up at midnight
E             Am
In the hanging tree.
