_ _ _ _ _ They [Em] _
_ _ [G] _ _ [Am] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ found her in [C] the river, _ [Em] [G] sent a posse after [Am] me.
_ I got caught up at [C] the border of [G] southern _ [Am] Tennessee.
_ _ _ [F] Guilty was [C] the verdict that the jury [Em] read to [Am]
me.
_ Then they brought me [G] down to the hanging [Am] tree. _ _ _
_ It was a whorehouse out [C] in Frisco with [G] my pearl _ [Am]-handled gun.
_ I thought it'd be [C] an easy score.
[G] I guess I thought [Am]
wrong.
_ That madam, she fought [C]
hard.
In the end, [G] she [Am] bested me.
_ Then they drug me [G] down to the hanging [Am] tree. _ _ _ _
_ _ [F] Its roots get strong [C] and deeper _ with every [Em] life [Am] it claims.
_ Years come and go, [A] [E] but the hanging [Em] tree [Am] remains.

_ _ _ _ [Am] _ _ _ _
_ _ Was a card game in [C] Grand Junction,
_ [G] eyes one short of [Am] a flush.
I looked at him, and [C] he looked right [G] back.
Then I called [Am] his bluff.
_ [F] Put money on [C] the table, _ and that ace [Em] fell from [Am] my sleeve.
I laid my final hands [G] down at the hanging tree.
[Am] _ I _ _ _ got busted in El [C] Paso, _ [G] coming back from [Am]
Juarez.
_ _ 50 _ [C] keys of pure cocaine [G] is what they caught [Am] me with.
_ I [F] tried to run, [C] shoot my way out to _ [Em] _ [Am] Federali's desk.
_ At the hanging tree, [G] I paid my final [Am] debt. _ _ _
_ _ [F] Its roots get strong [C] and deeper _ with every [Em] life [Am] it claims.
_ Years come and go, [Em] but the hanging tree [Am] remains. _ _ _
_ _ Years come and go, [Em] but the hanging tree [Am] remains. _ _ _
