[ch]G[/ch]                      [ch]C[/ch]
I am a man of constant sorrow
          [ch]D[/ch]              [ch]G[/ch]
I've seen trouble all my day.
                      [ch]C[/ch]
I bid farewell to old Kentucky
                [ch]D[/ch]              [ch]G[/ch]
The place where I was born and raised.

                [ch]D[/ch]               [ch]G[/ch]
The place where he was born and raised.

[ch]G[/ch]                               [ch]C[/ch]
For six long years I've been in trouble
             [ch]D[/ch]               [ch]G[/ch]
No pleasures here on earth I found
                               [ch]C[/ch]
For in this world I'm bound to ramble
          [ch]D[/ch]                  [ch]G[/ch]
I have no friends to help me now.

          [ch]D[/ch]               [ch]G[/ch]
He has no friends to help him now.

[ch]G[/ch]                          [ch]C[/ch]
It's fare thee well my old lover
          [ch]D[/ch]               [ch]G[/ch]
I never expect to see you again
                                    [ch]C[/ch]
For I'm bound to ride that northern railroad
             [ch]D[/ch]             [ch]G[/ch]
Perhaps I'll die upon this train.

              [ch]D[/ch]             [ch]G[/ch]
Perhaps he'll die upon this train.

[ch]G[/ch]                            [ch]C[/ch]
You can bury me in some deep valley
         [ch]D[/ch]                 [ch]G[/ch]
For many years where I may lay
                           [ch]C[/ch]
Then you may learn to love another
           [ch]D[/ch]              [ch]G[/ch]
While I am sleeping in my grave.

            [ch]D[/ch]               [ch]G[/ch]
While he is sleeping in his grave.

[ch]G[/ch]                                   [ch]C[/ch]
Maybe your friends think I'm just a stranger
               [ch]D[/ch]            [ch]G[/ch]
My face you'll never see no more.
                                 [ch]C[/ch]
But there is one promise that is given
              [ch]D[/ch]               [ch]G[/ch]
I'll meet you on God's golden shore.

               [ch]D[/ch]               [ch]G[/ch]
He'll meet you on God's golden shore.
