Hanging Tree - Uriah Heep
Tuning: , E A D G B E
Passing throug
h the arms of
satan
Reaching for t
he hands of go
d
Robbing every
mind for wisdo
m
Running so he
won't get caug
ht
He's outlawed
by majority
Been branded a
ll his life
Some say that
he's a sinner
man
As he rides fr
om day to nigh
t
He's a bad man
, so they say
Living for his
love and livi
ng free
Riding swift a
nd secretly
So he'll miss
the hanging tr
ee
Wounded spirit
on the wind
Riding to his
dream and dest
iny
He's laughing at the wanted posters
Calling for his friends to see
Laughing aloud as he rides away
Kicking up the dust with speed
Time hands him down a pathway
And freedom is a horse he rides
Glory is a dream he's after
And fortune is his heart's delight
Riding swift and secretly
So he'll miss the hanging tree
Wounded spirit on the wind
Riding to his dream and destiny
