The Hanging Tree Chords by Marty Robbins

[Intro]

[Verse]
C#                C#7 C#             
■  I came to town to  search for gold
                      G#7     
And I brought with me a memory
D#                 Fm                
And I seem to hear the night wind cry
F#           C#                        
Go hang your dreams on the hangin' tree
F#             C#                      
Your dreams of love that could never be
G#7                       C#7              D
Hang your faded dreams on the hangin' tree ■
                        D7         D   
I searched tor gold and I found my gold
                   A7               
And I found a girl who loved just me
E                   F#m               
And I wished that I could love her too
G                                        
But I'd left my heart on the hangin' tree
                         D     
I'd left my heart with a memory
A7                D                   D#
And a faded dream on the hangin' tree ■ 
                   D#                
Now there were men who craved my gold
                  A#7            
And meant to take my gold from me
Fm                 Gm              
When a man is gone he needs no gold
G#                 D#                 
So they carried me to the hangin' tree
G#                      D#    
To join my dreams and a memory
A#7                    D#               E
Yes they carried me to the hangin' tree ■
E                                 
To really live you must almost die
                     B7              
And it happened just that way with me
F#7                G#m            
They took the gold and set me free
A                                      
And I walked away from the hangin' tree
              E                E7   E
I walked away from the hangin' tree ■


[Chorus]
B7                   E                 
And my own true love she walked with me
A                       G#m             
That's when I knew that the hangin' tree
F#m                E              
Was a tree of life new life for me
A              E              
A tree of hope new hope for me
A              E              
A tree of love new love tor me
E               
The hangin' tree
A                E
The hangin' tree ■
