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.

EHang (022100@1)down your head Tom Dooley,
                        FmHang (133111@1)down your head and cry,

Hang down your head Tom Dooley,
                        EPoor (022100@1)boy, your bound to die,

EI (022100@1)met her on the mountain,
                     Fmand (133111@1)there I took her life,

Met her on the mountain,
                    Estabbed (022100@1)her with my knife,

EHang (022100@1)down your head Tom Dooley,
                       FmHang (133111@1)down your head and cry,

Hang down your head Tom Dooley,
                        EPoor (022100@1)boy, your bound to die,

EThis (022100@1)time tomorrow,
                 Fmreckon' (133111@1)where I'd be,

Hadn't been for Grayson,
                  EI'd (022100@1)been in Tennessee,


EHang (022100@1)down your head Tom Dooley,
                       FmHang (133111@1)down your head and cry,

Hang down your head Tom Dooley,
                        EPoor (022100@1)boy, your bound to die,


EThis (022100@1)time tomorrow,
                  Fmreckon' (133111@1)where I'll be,

Down in some lonesome valley,
                        Ehangin' (022100@1)from a wide oak tree,


EHang (022100@1)down your head Tom Dooley,
                        FmHang (133111@1)down your head and cry,

Hang down your head Tom Dooley,
                        EPoor (022100@1)boy, your bound to die,

EHang (022100@1)down your head Tom Dooley,
                       FmHang (133111@1)down your head and cry,

Hang down your head Tom Dooley,
                        EPoor (022100@1)boy, your bound to die.
