[E] There've been [Am] many [G] tales, tainted [A] by [G] truth, twisted [A] by time _ _ _
_ _ Some [E] choose [C] to forget, [G] yet [C] it still [G] weeps, worbs [C] in their mind
_ _ _ And it seemed like she's been [G] here forever, [Dm] her branches as black [Am] as the [Em] sea
[A] She's been [G] through it all, [C] by the luck of the draw, she [G] became the old [A] hanging tree _ _ _
_ _ [Am] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [E] She asked [Am] for nothing, [G] except [Am] maybe [G] a [Am] little _
_ _ [A] rain _ _ _
[E] They [C] used her [G] strength, to [C] help them [G] steal her hands away _ _ _
_ And she witnessed the sadness [G] and sorrow, [Dm] to this day she still doesn't [Am] know [E] why
[A] But her [G] heart broke [C] when they came with the rope to declare [G] her the old [Am] hanging _ _ tree
_ _ _ [G] _ _
Life's strange, [C] young affection, _ [E] it makes you [Am] wanna fight
_ _ [Dm] _
Rules could [Am] never stop her, _ [Dm] from [C] reaching [G] for the sky
_ [E] _ _

_ _ [G] _ _ Life's strange, [C] young affection, _ [E] it makes you [Am] wanna fight
_ _ [Dm] _ Rules could [Am] never stop her, from [C] reaching [G] for the sky
[E] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [A] _ [E] Those years of her past, lucky for [G] us, lucky [Am] for her
_ _ _ _ Now [E] children [F] play at her [G] feet, and in her arms she cradles birth _ _
_ And it seems she's been here forever, [D] but these days are the best [Am] that she's seen
[Am] Still [G] somewhere in the [C] back of her mind is the time she was [G] known as the [A] old hanging _ tree
_ _ _ Yes, somewhere in the [C] back of her [F] mind is the time _ [Am] she was known [D] _ [G] as the old [Em] hanging _ _ [A]
tree
