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