The Kingston Trio is an American folk group that helped launch the folk revival of the 1960s and continued to thrive despite the emergence of rock and roll.
The Kingston Trio was formed in 1957 in the Palo Alto, California area by original lineup of Dave Guard (1934–1991), Bob Shane (1934–2020), and Nick Reynolds (1933–2008), who were just out of college. Greatly influenced by The Weavers, the calypso sounds of Harry Belafonte, and other semi-popular folk artists such as the Gateway Singers and the Tarriers
Four years of hard work!This month of May we celebrated four years on the air. We continue working on the dissemination of this wonderful instrument, thank you for participating in our story!
I disagree with the other three tabs for this song. Here is the way that sounds right to me:
Tom Dooley
During the into and breaks between verses, you should alternate between E and Esus4 by your baby finger up and down on the C# (fifth string, fret 2) while holding the E chord traditional form.
E Hang down your head Tom Dooley, Fm Hang down your head and cry,
Hang down your head Tom Dooley, E Poor boy, your bound to die,
E I met her on the mountain, Fm and there I took her life,
Met her on the mountain, E stabbed her with my knife,
E Hang down your head Tom Dooley, Fm Hang down your head and cry,
Hang down your head Tom Dooley, E Poor boy, your bound to die,
E This time tomorrow, Fm reckon' where I'd be,
Hadn't been for Grayson, E I'd been in Tennessee,
E Hang down your head Tom Dooley, Fm Hang down your head and cry,
Hang down your head Tom Dooley, E Poor boy, your bound to die,
E This time tomorrow, Fm reckon' where I'll be,
Down in some lonesome valley, E hangin' from a wide oak tree,
E Hang down your head Tom Dooley, Fm Hang down your head and cry,
Hang down your head Tom Dooley, E Poor boy, your bound to die,
E Hang down your head Tom Dooley, Fm Hang down your head and cry,
Hang down your head Tom Dooley, E Poor boy, your bound to die.
