In constant sorrow through his days

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

                D               G
The place where he was born and raised.

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

          D               G
He has no friends to help him now.

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

              D             G
Perhaps he'll die upon this train.

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

            D               G
While he is sleeping in his grave.

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

               D               G
He'll meet you on God's golden shore.
