The Hangin Tree - Marty Robbins

The Hangin Tree chords

(C) I came to town to (Am) search for gold
And I (C) brought with me a (G) memory
And seem (Am) to hear the night (C) wind cry
Go (Am) hang your dreams on (C) the hangin tree
Your (Am) dreams of love that could (C) never be
Hang your faded (G) dreams on (C) the hangin tree

I searched for gold and (Am) I found my gold
And I found (C) a girl who (G)  loved just me
And I (Am) wish that I could love (C) her too
But I (Am)  left my heart on (C) the hangin tree
I left (Am)  my heart with (C) a memory
And a faded (G) dream on the (C) hangin tree

Now there were men who (Am) craved my gold
And meant (C) to take my (G) gold from me
When a (Am) man is gone he (C) needs no gold
So they (Am) carried me to (C) the hangin tree
To join (Am) my dreams and (C) a memory
Yes they carried (G) me to the (C) hangin tree

To really live you (Am) must almost die
And it happened (C) just that (G) way with me
They (Am) took my gold and (C) set me free

And (Am) I walked away from (C) the hangin tree
I (Am) walked away from (C) the hangin tree
And my own (G) true love, she (C) walked with me

Thats (F) when I knew that (G) the hangin tree
Was  a (F) tree of life, new (C) life for me
A (F) tree of hope new (C) hope for me
A (F) tree of love new (C) love for me
The hangin tree, (F) the hangin tree, (C) the hangin tree
