[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 )

[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
