Tom Dooley Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[D]"Th[A]roughout history
there have been many songs
Written about the eternal triangle
This next one tells the story of Mr. [D]Grayson
A [A]beautiful woman,
[D]and a condemned man named Tom Dooley
[A]When the sun rises tomorrow,
Tom Dooley must [D]hang"

[Chorus 1]
Hang down your head, [D]Tom Dooley
Hang down your head and [A]cry
Hang down your head, Tom Dooley
Poor boy, you're bound to [D]die

[Verse 1]
I met her on the [D]mountain,
there I took her [A]life
Met her on the mountain,
stabbed her with my [D]knife

[Chorus 2]
Hang down your head, [D]Tom Dooley
Hang down your head and [A]cry
Hang down your head, Tom Dooley
Poor boy, you're bound to [D]die

[Verse 2]
This time to[D]morrow reckon where I'll [A]be
Hadn't-a been for Grayson,
I'd-a been in Tennes[D]see
(well now, boy)

[Chorus 3]
Hang down your [D]head and cry
Hang down your head and [A]cry
Hang down your head and cry
Poor boy, you're bound to [D]die
Hang down your head and cry
Hang down your head and [A]cry
Hang down your head and cry
Poor boy, you're bound to [D]die

[Verse 3]
This time to[D]morrow reckon where I'll [A]be
Down in some lonesome valley
hangin' from a white oak [D]tree

[Chorus 4]
Hang down your head, [D]Tom Dooley
Hang down your head and [A]cry
Hang down your head, Tom Dooley
Poor boy, you're bound to [D]die
(ah, well now, boy)
Hang down your head, Tom Dooley
Hang down your head and [A]cry
Hang down your head, Tom Dooley
Poor boy, you're bound to [D]die
[A]Poor boy, you're bound to [D]die
[A]Poor boy, you're bound to [D]die
Poor boy, you're bound to die
