Lyrics and Chords:
-----------------

Throughout history there've 
been many songs written about
the eternal triangle. 
The next one tells a story
of Mr Grayson and a beautiful
woman and a condemned man named
Tom Dooley. When the sun rises
tomorrow Tom Dooley must hang.

C                   '
Hang down your head Tom Dooley
C                       G7
Hang down your head and cry
G7                  '
Hang down your head Tom Dooley
G7                  C
Poor boy your bound to die

I meet her on the mountain
There I took her life
Meet her on the mountain
Stabbed her with my knife

Hang down your head Tom Dooley
Hang down your head and cry
Hang down your head Tom Dooley
Poor boy you’re bound to die

This time tomorrow
Reckon where I'll be
Hadn't ha' been for Greyson
I'd been in Tennessee
Well now boy

 
Hang down your head and cry
Hang down your head and cry
Well a, hang down your head and cry
Poor boy you’re bound to die

Hang down your head and try,
Hang down your head and cry
Hang down your head and try,
Poor boy, you're bound to die

This time tomorrow
Reckon where I'll be
Down in some lost valley
Hanging from a white oak tree

Hang down your head Tom Dooley
Hang down your head and cry
Hang Down Your head Tom Dooley
Poor boy you’re bound to die
Well now boy

Hang down your head Tom Dooley
Hang down your head and cry
Well a, hang down your head Tom Dooley
Poor boy you’re bound to die
Poor boy you’re bound to die
Poor boy you’re bound to die
Poor boy, you’re bound to die
