[Verse 1]
Am Dm
Are you, are you
Am E
Coming to the tree
Am Dm
They strung up a man
E Am
They say who murdered three.
Am F
Strange things did happen here
Am D
No stranger would it be
Am Dm
If we met at midnight
Em Am
In the hanging tree.
[Verse 2]
Am Dm
Are you, are you
Am E
Coming to the tree
Am Dm
Where a dead man called out
G Am
For his love to flee.
Am F
Strange things did happen here
Am D
No stranger would it be
Am Dm
If we met at midnight
Em Am
In the hanging tree.
[Verse 3]
Am Dm
Are you, are you
Am E
Coming to the tree
Am Dm
Where I told you to run,
G Am
So we'd both be free.
Am F
Strange things did happen here
Am D
No stranger would it be
Am Dm
If we met at midnight
Em Am
In the hanging tree.
[Verse 4]
Am Dm
Are you, are you
Am E
Coming to the tree
Am Dm
Wear a necklace of hope,
G Am
Side by side with me.
Am F
Strange things did happen here
Am D
No stranger would it be
Am Dm
If we met at midnight
Em Am
In the hanging tree.
[Verse 5]
Am Dm
Are you, are you
Am E
Coming to the tree
Am Dm
Where I told you to run
G Am
So we'd both be free.
Am F
Strange things did happen here
Am D
No stranger would it be
Am Dm
If we met at midnight
E Am
In the hanging tree.
[Verse 6]

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

Dead man called out

For his love to flee.
