[Db] [G] [Db] [Bm]
[Db]
I came to town [D] [Db] to search for gold And I brought with me [B] [Ab] a memory
[Ebm] And I seemed to hear [Fm] the night wind cry [Gb] Go hang your dreams [Db] on the hanging tree
[Gb] Your dreams of love [Db] that could never be Hang [Ab] your faded dreams on [Db] the hanging tree
[D]
I searched for [Ab] gold and [D] I found my gold And I found a girl [Am]
[A] who loved just [Am] me
[Em] And I wished that I [Gbm] could love her too [G] But I'd left my [D] heart on the hanging tree
[G] I'd left my heart [D] with a memory [A]
And a faded dream [D] on the hanging tree
[Eb] Now there were men who craved my gold And meant to take [Em] [Bb] my gold from me
[Fm] When a man is gone [Gm] he needs no gold [Ab] So they carried me [Eb] to the hanging tree
[Ab] To join my dreams [Eb] and a memory Yes [Bb] they carried me to [Eb] the hanging tree
[E]
To really [F] live you [E] must almost die And it happened [Bm] just [B] that way with me
[G] [Gbm] They took the gold [Abm] and set me free [A] And I walked away [E] from the hanging tree
[A] [E] And [Gbm] my own [B] true love [E] she walked with me [A] That's when I knew [Abm] that the hanging tree
[Gbm] Was a tree of life, [E] new life for me [A] A tree of [Em] hope, new [A] hope for me
A tree of [E] love, new love for me The hanging tree, the hanging [A] tree
[E] The hanging tree
