Introduction:
Em Am
Are you, are you
Em
Coming to the tree
Em Am
They strung up a man
Em
They say who murdered three.
G Am
Strange things did happen here
Em
No stranger would it be
Em Am
If we met at midnight
Em
In the hanging tree.
Em Am
Are you, are you
Em
Coming to the tree
Em Am
Where dead man called out
Em
For his love to flee.

Are you, are you

Coming to the tree

Where I told you to run,
Em
So we'd both be free.

Side by side with me.
