Songs For My Own Enjoyment: Tom Dooley

Beginners can use the D7-alt instead of the barred D7

G                                

Hang down your head, Tom Dooley  

                        D7   

Hang down your head and cry  

D7                               

Hang down your head, Tom Dooley  

                          G    

Poor boy, you're bound to die  

  G                        

I met her on the mountain  

                 D7    

There I took her life  

D7                       

Met her on the mountain  

                    G      

Stabbed her with my knife  

G                                

Hang down your head, Tom Dooley  

                        D7   

Hang down your head and cry  

D7                               

Hang down your head, Tom Dooley  

                          G    

Poor boy, you're bound to die  

G                   

This time tomorrow  

                  D7  

Reckon where I'll be  

D7                         

Hadn't a-been for Grayson  

                   G     

I'd a-been in Tennessee  

G                                

Hang down your head, Tom Dooley  

                        D7   

Hang down your head and cry  

D7                               

Hang down your head, Tom Dooley  

                          G    

Poor boy, you're bound to die  

G                                

Hang down your head, Tom Dooley  

                        D7   

Hang down your head and cry  

D7                               

Hang down your head, Tom Dooley  

                          G    

Poor boy, you're bound to die  

G                   

This time tomorrow  

                  D7  

Reckon where I'll be  

D7                            

Down in some lonesome valley  

                         G     

Hangin' from a white oak tree  

G                                

Hang down your head, Tom Dooley  

                        D7   

Hang down your head and cry  

D7                               

Hang down your head, Tom Dooley  

                          G    

Poor boy, you're bound to die  

G                                

Hang down your head, Tom Dooley  

                        D7   

Hang down your head and cry  

D7                               

Hang down your head, Tom Dooley  

                          G    

Poor boy, you're bound to die  

D7                        G    

Poor boy, you're bound to die  

D7                       G    

Poor boy you're bound to die  

D7                        G       

Poor boy, you're bound to die...
