Tom Dooley chords
The Kingston Trio (North Carolina folk song, first recording by Grayson / Whitter)

"Throughout history there've been many songs written about the eternal triangle.
This next one tells the story of a Ms. Grayson, a beautiful woman, and a condemned
man named Tom Dooley. When the sun rises tomorrow, [pic]Tom Dooley, must hang..."

E
Hang down your head, [pic]Tom Dooley,
                        F#m
hang down your head and cry

Hang down your head, [pic]Tom Dooley,
                          E
poor boy, you're bound to die

  E
I met her on the mountain,
                 F#m
there I took her life

Met her on the mountain,
                    E
stabbed her with my knife

E
Hang down your head, [pic]Tom Dooley,
                        F#m
hang down your head and cry

Hang down your head, [pic]Tom Dooley,
                          E
poor boy, you're bound to die

E
This time tomorrow,
                  F#m
reckon where I'll be

Hadn't a-been for Grayson,
                    E
I'd a-been in Tennessee

E
Hang down your head, [pic]Tom Dooley,
                        F#m
hang down your head and cry

Hang down your head, [pic]Tom Dooley,
                          E
poor boy, you're bound to die

E
Hang down your head, [pic]Tom Dooley,
                        F#m
hang down your head and cry

Hang down your head, [pic]Tom Dooley,
                          E
poor boy, you're bound to die

E
This time tomorrow,
                  F#m
reckon where I'll be

Down in some lonesome valley,
                         E
hangin' from a white oak tree

E
Hang down your head, [pic]Tom Dooley,
                        F#m
hang down your head and cry

Hang down your head, [pic]Tom Dooley,
                          E
poor boy, you're bound to die

E
Hang down your head, [pic]Tom Dooley,
                        F#m
hang down your head and cry

Hang down your head, [pic]Tom Dooley,
                          E
poor boy, you're bound to die

F#m                       E
Poor boy, you're bound [pic]to die
F#m                       E
Poor boy, you're bound [pic]to die
F#m                       E
Poor boy, you're bound [pic]to die...
