James Newton Howard
The Hanging Tree
[Verse 1]
Are you, are you coming to the tree?
Where they strung up a man
They say who murdered three
[Refrain]
Strange things did happen here
No stranger would it be
If we met at midnight in the hanging tree
[Verse 2]
Are you, are you coming to the tree?
Where a dead man called out
For his love to flee
[Refrain]
Strange things did happen here
No stranger would it be
If we met at midnight in the hanging tree
[Verse 3]
Are you, are you coming to the tree?
Where I told you to run
So we'd both be free
[Refrain]
Strange things did happen here
No stranger would it be
If we met at midnight in the hanging tree
[Verse 4]
Are you, are you coming to the tree?
Wear a necklace of hope
Side by side with me
[Refrain]
Strange things did happen here
No stranger would it be
If we met at midnight in the hanging tree
[Bridge]
Are you, are you coming to the tree?
Where they strung up a man
They say who murdered three
Strange things did happen here
No stranger would it be
If we met at midnight in the hanging tree
Are you, are you coming to the tree?
Where a dead man called out
For his love to flee
Strange things did happen here
No stranger would it be
If we met at midnight in the hanging tree
Are you, are you coming to the tree?
Where I told you to run
So we'd both be free
Strange things did happen here
No stranger would it be
If we met at midnight in the hanging tree
[Guitar Solo]
[Chorus]
Are you, are you coming to the tree?
Where they strung up a man
They say who murdered three (Say who murdered three)
Strange things did happen here
No stranger would it be
If we met at midnight in the hanging tree
Are you, are you coming to the tree?
Where a dead man called out
For his love to flee (For his love to flee)
Strange things did happen here
No stranger would it be
If we met at midnight in the hanging tree
Are you, are you coming to the tree?
Where a dead man called out
For his love to flee
Strange things did happen here
No stranger would it be
If we met at midnight in the hanging tree
