[Intro]
Am
[Verse 1]
Am D Am D
Out of the East never see the sunrise
Am D Em/G Am
Spoon fed peace, swallowing knives
Am D Am D
We know that promise is sweet, but it's laced with venom
Am D
And we're their living sacrifice.
( Em/G Am )
Oh Now baby
[Pre-Chorus]
Am D Am D
One by one you line us up, two
Am D Em/G Am
By two, and three you'll send us home
[Chorus 1]
Am D
Are you, are you
Am D/E
Coming to the tree
Am D
They strung up a man,
Em/G Am
They say who murdered three
Am D
Strange things did happen here,
Am D/E
No stranger would it be
Am D ( Em/G Am )
If we met at midnight in the hanging tree
[Bridge]
Am D
Jack rabbit on the rooftop now
Am D
Your magic can be seen for miles
Am D
Stop sellin' all our dreams to the wild
Em/G Am
Can you hear us
Am D
Jack rabbit on the rooftop now
Am D
Your magic can be seen for miles
Am D
Can you hear us
( Em/G Am )
How-how-howl, yeah
Am D
Am ( Em/G )
Page Break
[Verse 2]
Am D Am D
How do you see while the black crow flies
Am D Em/G Am
Caught between who's wrong and right
Am D Am D
Oh it's cruel, your game to gain momentum
Am D
But go on and feast your eyes
( Em/G Am )
Oh Now baby
[Pre-Chorus]
Am D Am D
One by one you line us up, two
Am D ( Em/G Am )
By two, and three you'll send us home
[Chorus 2]
Am D
Are you, are you
Am D/E
Coming to the tree
Am D
Where I told you to run,
Em/G Am
So we'd both be free
Am D
Strange things did happen here,
Am D/E
No stranger would it be
Am D Em/G Am
If we met at midnight in the hanging tree
[Bridge 2 - Root Notes Only]
Am
Jack rabbit on the rooftop now
Am
Your magic can be seen for miles
Am
Stop sellin' all our dreams to the wild
Am
Can you hear us
Am
Jack rabbit on the rooftop now
Am
Your magic can be seen for miles
Am
Can you hear us
G Am G Am G Am
How- how- howl, yeah
[Chorus 3 - Voice Only]
Are you, are you
Coming to the tree
Wear the necklace of hope,
Side by side with me
Strange things did happen here,
No stranger would it be
If we met at midnight in the hanging tree
