It takes a worried man to sing a worried song
 D                                       A
It takes a worried man to sing a worried song

I?m worried now, but I won?t be worried long

A
I went across the river and I lay down to sleep
D                                           A             
I went across the river and I lay down to sleep
A
Well I went across the river and I lay down to sleep
           E                              A           
When I woke up, I had the shackles and my feet

A
Twenty-nine links of chain around my leg
D                                     A
Twenty-nine links of chain around my leg
A
I?ve twenty-nine links of chain around my leg
            E                         A
And on each link is the initial of my name

           A
Because it takes a worried man to sing a worried song

I asked the judge, what might be my fine
D                                   A
I asked the judge, what might be my fine
A
I asked the judge, well what might be my fine
            E                            A
Twenty-one years on that Rocky Mountain Line

A
The train that I ride, is sixteen coaches long
D                                           A
The train that I ride, is  sixteen coaches long
A
The train I ride, is sixteen coaches long
           E                          A
The girl I love is on that train and gone
