I am a Man of Constant Sorrow 
As done by Soggy Bottom Boys 

||: D | G | A7 :|| 
Originally done in F (E capo 1) 

A7 --In constant sorrow all through his days. 
I am the man of constant sorrow, I've seen trouble all my days. 
I bid farewell to old Kentucky the place where I was born and raised. 
--the place where he was born and raised. 


For six long years I've been in trouble, no pleasure here on earth I've found. 
Fo-o-or in this world I'm bound to ramble I have no friends to help me now. 
--he has no friends to help him now. 


It's fare thee well my all new lover I never expect to see you again. 
For I'm bound to ride that northern railroad, perhaps I'll die upon that train. 
--perhaps he'll die upon this train. 


You can bury me in sunny valley for many years where I may lay. 
A-a-nd you may lear-rrn to love another while I am sleepin in my grave. 
--while he is sleepin in his grave. 


Maybe your friends think I'm just a stranger, my face you never see no more. 
But there is one promise that is given I'll meet you on God's golden shore. 
--he'll meet you on God's golden shore.
