Worried Man Blues

A
It takes a worried man to sing a 
worried song,
    D                     A
It takes a worried man to sing a 
worried song,
            E                  
I'm worried now, but I won't be 
         A
worried long.

[Verse]
  A
I went across the river, I laid down
 to sleep,
  D                        A
I went across the river, I laid down
 to sleep,
            E                      
When I woke up, were the shackles 
     A
on my feet.
 A
Twenty-nine links of chain around my
 leg,
 D                      A
Twenty-nine links of chain around my
 leg,
             E                     
And on each link, the initial of my
 A
 name.

[Chorus]

I asked the judge what might  be my 
fine,
  D                    A
I asked the judge what might be my 
fine,
             E               
Twenty-one years on the Rocky 
           A
Mountain Line.
  A
The train arrived, sixteen coaches 
long,
    D                       A
The train arrived, sixteen coaches 
long,
                   E               
The girl I love is on that train 
   A
and gone.

If anyone asks you who composed this
 song,
 D                         A
If anyone asks you who composed this
 song,
                       E           
Tell him ?twas I and I sing it all 
      A
day long.

[Chorus]
A
It takes a worried man to sing a 
worried song,
    D                     A
It takes a worried man to sing a 
worried song,
            E                  
I'm worried now, but I won't be 
         A
worried long.
