[Verse]
                   D     
Hang your head Tom Dooley
                   A  
Hang your head and cry
    E                  A      E
You killed poor Laurie Foster ■
        D                    A  
And you know you're bound to die
                    D       
You left her by the roadside
                       A      
Where you begged to be excused
                    A       
You left her by the roadside
     D                       A    
Then you hid her clothes and shoes
                   D     
Hang your head Tom Dooley
                   A  
Hang your head and cry
E7                     A     
You killed poor Laurie Foster
        D                    A  
And you know you're bound to die

                    D       
You took her on the hillside
                     A   
For to make her your wife
                    A       
You took her on the hillside
    D                  A   
And there you took her life
                  D             
You dug the grave four feet long
                          A   
And you dug it three feet deep
    E7              A            
You rolled the cold clay over her
    D                    A   
And tromped it with your feet
                   D     
Hang your head Tom Dooley
                   A  
Hang your head and cry
E7                     A     
You killed poor Laurie Foster
        D                    A  
And you know you're bound to die

[Verse]
                D      
Trouble oh it's trouble
                    A     
Arollin' through my breast
E7             A           
As long as I'm alivin' boys
D                        A   
They ain't agonna let me rest
                     D      
I know they're gonna hang me
                 A   
Tomorrow I'll be dead
         E          A            
Though I never even harmed a hair
   D                    A   
On poor little Laurie's head
                   D     
Hang your head Tom Dooley
                   A  
Hang your head and cry
    E7                 A     
You killed poor Laurie Foster
        D                    A  
And you know you're bound to die

[Verse]
                  D       
In this world and one more
                  A      
Then reckon where I'll be
      E7                 A      
If is wasn't for Sheriff Grayson
D         A        
I'd be in Tennessee
                         D     
You can take down my old violin
                    A     
And play it all you please
E                A            
For at this time tomorrow boys
D                     A 
It'll be of no use to me
                   D     
Hang your head Tom Dooley
                   A  
Hang your head and cry
    E                  A     
You killed poor Laurie Foster
        D                    A  
And you know you're bound to die

[Chorus]
             D       
At this time tomorrow
                    A      
Where do you reckon I'll be
E                       A     
Away down yonder in the holler
D                      A   
Hangin' on a white oak tree
                   D     
Hang your head Tom Dooley
                   A  
Hang your head and cry
E7                     A     
You killed poor Laurie Foster
        D                    A  
And you know you're bound to die
