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