Tom Dooley

Tabbed for the Chromatic Harmonica by Gary M. Return to Gary M's Song Page

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

3 3 3 -3 4 6 6 3 3 3 -3 4 -5
Hang down your head, Tom Doo-ley, hang down your head, and cry,
3 3 3 -3 4 -5 -5 6 -5 5 -3 3-3 4
Hang down your head, Tom Doo-ley, poor boy you're bound t-o die.

3 3   3 -3 4    6    6    6    3   3 -3   4   -5
I met her on the moun-tain, and there I took her life,
-5 3   3 -3 4   -5   -5    6     -5    4 -3 3 -3   4
I met her on the moun-tain, and stabbed her wi-th my knife.

3    3    3   -3    4   6   6     3    3    3   -3    4 -5
Hang down your head, Tom Doo-ley, hang down your head, and cry,
  3    3    3   -3    4   -5 -5    6   -5    5     -3 3-3 4
Hang down your head, Tom Doo-ley, poor boy you're bound t-o die.

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

This time tomorrow, reckon where I'll be
Hadn't it been for Grayson. I'd been in Tennessee.

This time tomorrow, reckon where I'll be.
Down in some lonesome valley, hanging on a white oak tree.
