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
