Am E C
There have been many tales
G Am G Am
Tainted by truth twisted by time…
Am E C
Some choose to forget
G C G C
Yet it still weaves webs in their minds…
C G
And it seems like she's been here forever
Dm Am
Her branches as black as the seas
Am E
She's been through it all
C G
By the luck of the draw
C G Am
She became the old hanging tree…
Am E C
She asked for nothing
G Am G Am
Except maybe a little rain…
Am E C
They used her strength
G C G C
To help them steal lives away…
C G
And she witnessed the sadness and sorrow
Dm Am
To this day she still doesn't know why
Am E
But her heart broke
C G
When they came with the rope
C G Am
To declare her the old hanging tree…
G C
Life stranger then fiction
E Am
Can make you want to cry
Dm Am
Roots could never stop her
F C G B7
Am E C
Those years have all past
G Am G Am
Lucky for us lucky for her…
Am E C
Now, children play at her feet
G C G C
And in her arms she cradles birds…
C G
And it seems like she's been here forever
Dm Am
Her branches as black as the seas
Am E
She's been through it all
C G
By the luck of the draw
C G Am
She became the old hanging tree…
Am E C G
Yes somewhere in the back of her mind is the time
Am G Em Am
she was known as the old hanging tree...
