verse 1: 

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


verse 2: 

Dm 
Are you, are you 
Am 
Coming to the tree 
Dm                                Am      Dm 
Where the dead man called out for his love to flee 
Dm 
Strange things did happen here 
    Am 
No stranger would it be 
C                             Am    Dm 
If we met up at midnight in the hanging tree 


verse 3: 

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


verse 4: 

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