I'll take thee away
Dm     Am        Em  E7
Into a land of enchantment

Come little children

The time's come to play
Dm         Am         E7  Am
Here in my garden of shadows

Where they strung up a man
     Am
They say who murdered three.
Am                 Dm
Strange things did happen here
      Am             E
No stranger would it be
      Am     Dm
If we met at midnight
Em            Am
In the hanging tree
