Marty Robbins – The Hanging Tree (Guitar)

C                 Am
I came to town to search for gold

      C                 G
And I brought with me a memory

         Am                C
And seem to hear the night wind cry

   Am                  C
Go hang your dreams on the hangin tree

     Am                        C
Your dreams of love that could never be

                G         C
Hang your faded dreams on the hangin tree

                        Am
I searched for gold and I found my gold

            C          G
And I found a girl who loved just me

      Am                     C
And I wish that I could love her too

      Am               C
But I left my heart on the hangin tree

       Am            C
I left my heart with a memory

            G            C
And a faded dream on the hangin tree

                       Am
Now there were men who craved my gold

          C          G
And meant to take my gold from me

       Am             C
When a man is gone he needs no gold

        Am            C
So they carried me to the hangin tree

        Am            C
To join my dreams and a memory

                 G         C
Yes they carried me to the hangin tree

                   Am
To really live you must almost die

                C         G
And it happened just that way with me

     Am               C
They took my gold and set me free

    Am                 C
And I walked away from the hangin tree

  Am               C
I walked away from the hangin tree

           G              C
And my own true love, she walked with me

      F                G
Thats when I knew that the hangin tree

       F                 C
Was a tree of life, new life for me

  F                C
A tree of hope new hope for me

  F                C
A tree of love new love for me

                 F                C
The hangin tree, the hangin tree, the hangin tree
