Tom Dooley – CG

SHEET MUSIC  is in key of G

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

{ CHORUS } - - - - - [C] Hang down your head,Tom Dooley.  Hang down your head and [G7] cry.   Hang down your head, Tom Dooley.   Poor boy, you're bound to [C] die

[C] I met her on the mountain,  there I took her [G7] life.   Met her on the mountain,  stabbed her with my [C] knife

{ CHORUS } - - - - - 

[C] This time tomorrow,  reckon where I'll [G7] be . . . Hadn't-a been for Grayson,  I'd-a been down in [C] Tennessee

{ CHORUS } - - - - - [C] Hang down your head,Tom Dooley. Hang down your head and [G7] cry. Hang down your head, Tom Dooley. Poor boy, you're bound to [C] die

[C] This time tomorrow,   reckon where I'll [G7] be . . . Down in some lonesome valley hangin' from a white oak [C] tree
