Capo 1
CAm
I came to town to search for gold
CG
And I brought with me a memory
Am C
And seem to hear the night wind cry
AmC
Go hang your dreams on the hangin tree
AmC
Your dreams of love that could never be
G C
Hang your faded dreams on the hangin tree
I searched for gold and I found my gold
And I found a girl who loved just me
And I wish that I could love her too
But I left my heart on the hangin tree
I left my heart with a memory
And a faded dream on the hangin tree
Now there were men who craved my gold
And meant to take my gold from me
When a man is gone he needs no gold
So they carried me to the hangin tree
To my dreams and a memory
Yes they carried me to the hangin tree
To really live you must almost die
And it happened just that way with me
They took my gold and set me free
And I walked away from the hangin tree
I walked away from the hangin tree
And my own true love, she walked with me
FG
Thats when I knew that the hangin tree
FC
Was a tree of life, new life for me
FC
A tree of hope new hope for me
F C
A tree of love new love for me
FC
The hangin tree, the hangin tree, the hangin tree
