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