Took her by that roadside where [F#] you begged to be [B] excused, well [E] you took her by that roadside, there you [B] took her shoes.
So hangry Tom Dooley, [F#] hold your head [B] and cry, [E] killed Pearl Arie Foster, now [G#m] your found's [B] died.

So hangry Tom [F#] Dooley, hold your [B] head and [E] cry, killed Pearl Arie Foster, now your found's died.

Take down my old violin, [F#] play it on your fleas, [E] well this time tomorrow will be no use to me.
For this world and one more where you reckon I'd be, [E] but it hadn't been for grace and I'd have been in [B] Tennessee.
So hangry Tom [F#] Dooley, hold your head and cry, [E] killed Pearl Arie Foster, [G#m] now your found's died.
