reciting the intro.Ê  With a little practice it can be done.Ê I did it in the 

 

Key of EÊon the guitar,  on the 1st and 2nd strings.Ê This song sounds great with

(Recitation  intro)

 

THEREâVE BEEN MANY SONGS  WRITTEN ABOUT THE ETERNAL TRIANGLE.

 

THIS NEXT ONE TELLS THE  STORY OF A BEAUTIFUL WOMAN,

 

A MISTER GRAYSON, AND A  CONDEMNED MAN NAMED TOM DOOLEY.

 

WHEN THE SUN RISES TOMORROW  MORNING, TOM DOOLEY MUST HANG.

 

Ê

 

(Chorus)

 

HANG DOWN YOUR HEAD TOM  DOOLEY, HAND DOWN YOUR HEAD AND CRY

 

HANG DOWN YOUR HEAD TOM  DOOLEY, POOR BOY YOUâRE BOUND TO DIE.

 

Ê

 

MET HER ON THE MOUNTAIN,  THERE I TOOK HER LIFE.

 

MET HER ON THE MOUNTAIN,  STABBED HER WITH MY KNIFE. 

 

(To  Chorus)

 

Ê

 

THIS TIME TOMORROW, RECKON  WHERE IâD BE

 

HADNâTâA BEEN FOR GRAYSON,  IâD BEEN IN TENNESSEE.

 


 

(To Chorus)

 

Ê

 

THIS TIME TOMORROW, RECKON  WHERE IâLL BE

 

DOWN IN SOME LONESOME  VALLEY, SWINGING FROM A TALL OAK TREE.

 

(To Chorus)
