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

 Am       Dm 
Are you, are you 
Am             E 
Coming to the tree 
      Am            Dm 
Where the dead man called out 
 E           Am 
For his love to flee. 
Am                 Dm 
Strange things did happen here 
      Am              E 
No stranger would it seem 
      Am        Dm 
If we met up at midnight 
E             Am 
In the hanging tree. 

    Am       Dm 
Are you, are you 
Am             E 
Coming to the tree 
       Am            Dm 
Where I told you to run, 
 E           Am 
So we'd both be free. 
Am                 Dm 
Strange things did happen here 
      Am              E 
No stranger would it seem 
      Am        Dm 
If we met up at midnight 
E             Am 
In the hanging tree. 

    Am       Dm 
Are you, are you 
Am             E 
Coming to the tree 
       Am            Dm 
Wear a necklace of rope, 
 E           Am 
Side by side with me. 
Am                 Dm 
Strange things did happen here 
      Am              E 
No stranger would it seem 
      Am        Dm 
If we met up at midnight 
E             Am 
In the hanging tree.
