D **
In constant sorrow all through his days
Verse 1
I Am A Man Of Constant Sorrow
A D *
I've seen trouble all my day.
I bid farewell to old Kentucky
The place where I was born and raised.
The place where he was born and raised
Verse 2
For six long years I've been in trouble
No pleasures here on earth I found
For in this world I'm bound to ramble
I have no friends to help me now.
He has no friends to help him now
Verse 3
It's fare thee well my old lover
I never expect to see you again
For I'm bound to ride that northern railroad
Perhaps I'll die upon this train.
Perhaps he'll die upon this train.
Verse 4
You can bury me in some deep valley
For many years where I may lay
Then you may learn to love another
While I am sleeping in my grave.
While he is sleeping in his grave.
Verse 5
Maybe your friends think I'm just a stranger
My face you'll never see no more.
But there is one promise that is given
I'll meet you on God's golden shore.
He'll meet you on God's golden shore..
