[Intro]
Am Em
[Verse 1]
Em
In North Carolina, the County of Wilkes
D A D Em
There's a tale of desception, murder, and guilt
Em G
I'll spare no compassion, the truth I will tell
D A B7 Em
Let God alone judge me this side of hell.
[Verse 2]
Em
Miss Annie and Laura, Fairest of fair
D A D Em
Cast a spell on all suiters with beauty so rare
Em G
One was jealous, the other naive,
D A B7 Em
One plan to marry, one to deceive
[Chorus]
G D Am
Tom won't you play your fiddle
Am B7 Em
Play a joyful song
G D Am
Don't Worry about tomorrow
Am B7 Em
Cause tomorrow you'll be gone
[Break Same as Verse]
[Verse 3]
Em
Annie said Laura, Tom said to me
D A D Em
Meet him on the hillside beneath the Sycamore trees
Em G
Just after midnight, the last day of May
D A B7 Em
Go to him Laura and both run away
[Verse 4]
Em
She hide like a panther, in the black of the night
D A D Em
Killed Laura Foster with a Bone handled knife
Em G
She burried her body in a cold shallow grave
D A B7 Em
Along with her secret in the Wilkes Co. Clay
[Break Same as Chorus]
[Verse 5]
Em
Now Sheriff Bob Mason was a hard jealous man
D A B7 Em
and all that he wanted, was young Laura's hand
Em G
His heart was broken, his head full of rage
D A B7 G
when he blamed Tom Doolin, Not a question was raised
[Verse 6]
Em
In the Village of Statesville, States quickly tried
D A D Em
he spoke not a word in the feats of his life
Em G
They hung him by the neck on the last day of June
D A B7 Em
and his final request was an old fiddle tune
[Chorus]
G D Am
Tom won't you play your fiddle
Am B7 Em
play a joyful song
G D Am
Don't worry about tomorrow
Am B7 Em
cause tomorrow you'll be gone.
