<< Back to Marty Robbins Song List

Version 1 Version 2

            [Intro]
C#

[Verse 1]
C#
I came to town to search for gold
                        G#
And I brought with me a memory
      D#                 Fm
And I seemed to hear the night wind cry
   F#                      C#
Go hang your dreams on the hanging tree
     F#                        C#
Your dreams of love that could never be
          G#                  C#
Hang your faded dreams on the hanging tree
     D
(the hanging tree)

[Verse 2]
D
I searched for gold, and I found my gold
                       A
And I found a girl who loved just me
      Em                  F#m
and I wished that I could love her, too
        G                    D
But I’d left my heart on the hanging tree
  G                    D
I left my heart with a memory
      A                  D
And a faded dream on the hanging tree
     D#
(the hanging tree)

[Verse 3]
D#
Now there were men who craved my gold
                     A#
And meant to take my gold from me
       Fm              Gm
When a man is gone, he needs no gold
         G#                D#
So, they carried me to the hanging tree
   G#                   D#
To join my dreams and a memory
          A#                D#
Yes, they carried me to the hanging tree
     E
(the hanging tree)

[Verse ]
E
To really live you must almost die
                          B
And it happened just that way with me
     F#m               G#m
They took the gold and set me free
      A                    E
And I walked away from the hanging tree
  A                    E
I walked away from the hanging tree
       B                  E
And my own true love, she walked with me

[Chorus]
       A                    G#m
That's when I knew that the hanging tree
      F#m         B     E
Was a tree of life, new life for me
  A                 E
A tree of hope, new hope for me
  A                 E
A tree of love, new love for me

The hanging tree
    A
The hanging tree
    E
The hanging tree
