D G C
I am a man of constant sorrow
C/B D G bass notes C B A as lead into D chord
I've seen trouble all my days
D G C
I'll say goodbye to Colorado
D G D
Where I was born and partly raised
D G C
Your mother says I'm a stranger
C/B D G bass notes C B A as lead into D chord
My face you'll never see no more
D G C
But there's one promise darling
D G D
I'll see you on God's golden shore
D G C
Through this open world I'm about to ramble
C/B D G bass notes C B A as lead into D chord
Through ice and snows sleet and rain
D G C
I'm about to ride that morning railroad
D G D
Perhaps I'll die on that train
D G C
I'm going back to Colorado
C/B D G bass notes C B A as lead into D chord
The place that I started from
D G C
If I had known how bad you'd treat me honey
D G
I never would have come
