Here they are, the Kingston Trio.
[F#] Shady Grove, my little [F#m] love's shady grove, I know.
Shady Grove, my little love's bound for Shady Grove.
When she [E] sees my shady [F#m] grove, standing by the door,
She'll just tuck [F#] in her hat, [F#m] little baby, don't be bold.
Shady Grove, [E] my little [F#m] love's shady grove, I know.
Shady [E] Grove, my little [F#m] love's bound for Shady Grove.
Her lips as red as a ruby rose, [F#m] and her eyes the deepest brown,
She is the darling of my life, stay till the sun goes down.
Shady [F#] Grove, my little [F#m] love's shady grove, I know.
Shady [E] Grove, my little love's bound for Shady Grove.
Bound for [B]
[E] Shady [F#m] Grove.
[G#] The Hungry Eye album we made was the second album that the trio made,
[F#]
and it must [Em] have had something to do with the name, too,
because it did [E] wonderful things for [F#] us.
That album was on the charts [A#] 478 weeks,
[G]
and sold [F#] about 20,000, I guess.
[B]
The group's been around for 23 [G#] years, started in 1957.
Dave Gard, Nick Reynolds, and my partner Bob Shane.
Bob got George and I from a rental store,
[F#] and [B] we're going to do the old [B] stuff.
It seems to satisfy two very important things,
[F#] nostalgia and [A] the fact that we don't have [F#] to learn any new material in 23 years.
[Bm] [F#] You ready to go fossil breath?
[B] Okay.
[G] [A]
[E]
[G] I like an audience like this.
They don't bother us, we don't bother them. No.
[C#] [F#] [Dm]
[D] We shouldn't try anything humorous.
They'd all even burn [N] out.
[C]
[F] Hang down your head, Tom Dooley, hang down your head [C] and cry.
Hang down your head, Tom Dooley, oh boy, you're bound [F] to die.
I remember [D] the cut coming through and the engineer was [G] playing it back,
and it's Tom Dooley, hang on your head, and Tom Dooley, Tom Dooley, and all this.
I didn't [N] know the story.
I said, what happened to this guy?
He says, I hear somewhere they hung him.
What are they hanging him for?
So we got Dave to talk that little speech in front, Tom Dooley.
Remember, the music's in the background, and he's talking and telling the story of Tom Dooley.
I said, because you folk singers, [F] I don't understand half the things you're singing about.
Well, cowboy, hang down your head, Tom Dooley, hang down your head and [C] cry.
Hang down your head, Tom Dooley, oh boy, you're bound to [F] die.
[C] Oh boy, you're bound [F] to die.
[C] Oh boy, you're [F] bound to die.
Oh boy, you're bound to die.
[N] We'd like to do a song we wrote in 1958.
