This song does not have an official tune (yet; I'm sure it will by the end of the year
with Catching Fire coming out), but I tabbed this to the beautiful arrangement by
adrisaurus on YouTube. Here is the link to the arrangement:

I would listen to that first to know what you're singing. Have fun!! Please comment and
tell me how it is!

Standard tuning
Capo 6

Intro:
Am  C  F  G  Am
Am  C  G  Em  G  Am


Am
Are you, are you
C
Coming to the tree
             F                         G      Am
Where they strung up a man they say murdered three.
Am                   C
Strange things did happen here
      G
No stranger would it be
      Em                           G     Am
If we met up at midnight in the hanging tree.


Am
Are you, are you
C
Coming to the tree
            F                          G       Am
Where the dead man called out for his love to flee.
Am                   C
Strange things did happen here
      G
No stranger would it be
      Em                           G     Am
If we met up at midnight in the hanging tree.


Am
Are you, are you
C
Coming to the tree
         F                        G       Am
Where I told you to run, so we'd both be free.
Am                   C
Strange things did happen here
      G
No stranger would it be
      Em                           G     Am
If we met up at midnight in the hanging tree.
