Marty Robbins - The hanging tree

^C#I came to town to search for gold And I brought with me a ^G#memory And I ^D#seemed to hear the ^Fmnight wind cry Go ^F#hang your dreams on the ^C#hanging tree Your ^F#dreams of love that could ^C#never be Hang your ^G#faded dreams on the ^C#hanging tree (the ^Dhanging tree)

^DI searched for gold, and I found my gold And I found a girl who ^Aloved just me and I ^Emwished that I could ^F#mlove her, too But I’d ^Gleft my heart on the ^Dhanging tree I ^Gleft my heart with a ^Dmemory And a ^Afaded dream on the ^Dhanging tree (the ^D#hanging tree)

^D#Now there were men who craved my gold And meant to take my ^A#gold from me When a ^Fmman is gone, he ^Gmneeds no gold So, they ^G#carried me to the ^D#hanging tree To ^G#join my dreams and a ^D#memory Yes, they ^A#carried me to the ^D#hanging tree (the ^Ehanging tree)

^ETo really live you must almost die And it happened just that ^Bway with me They ^F#mtook the gold and ^G#mset me free And I ^Awalked away from the ^Ehanging tree I ^Awalked away from the ^Ehanging tree And my ^Bown true love, she ^Ewalked with me

That's ^Awhen I knew that the ^G#mhanging tree Was a ^F#mtree of life^B, new ^Elife for me A ^Atree of hope, new ^Ehope for me A ^Atree of love, new ^Elove for me
