The Hanging Tree

I did this for music class composition but since musescore sucks shit, I'd rather play it. The lyrics are from the book Mockingjay, written by Suzanne Collins but I made the melody + harmony up. Obviously, I prerecorded some parts on my digital piano cause unfortunately, I don't have three hands.

Here are the lyrics (I only used the last verse though):


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

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

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

Are you, are you
Coming to the tree
Wear a necklace of rope, side by side with me.
Strange things did happen here
No stranger would it be
If we met up at midnight in the hanging tree.

BTW, I finished reading Mockingjay like a week ago but I won't review it until more people have read it. Or maybe I just won't review it. I have to get over how disappointing it was. WHYYY?!
