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