 6    3   3  -3   4   -5
and there I took her life,

-5 3   3  -3  4   -5   -5    
I met her on the moun-tain,

and stabbed her wi-th my knife.

Verse 2:

This time tomorrow, reckon where I'll be
Hadn't it been for Grayson. I'd been in Tennessee.

Chorus

Verse 3:

This time tomorrow, reckon where I'll be.
Down in some lonesome valley, hanging on a white oak tree.
