D                A                                  D
In constant sorrow all through his days

[Verse 1]

D                                      G
I Am A Man Of Constant Sorrow
                  A                 D
I've seen trouble all my day.
                                       G
I bid farewell to old Kentucky
                         A                        D 
The place where I was born and raised.

The place where he was born and raised

[Verse 2]

D                                               G
For six long years I've been in trouble
                        A                      D
No pleasures here on earth I found
                                                G
For in this world I'm bound to ramble
                A                           D
I have no friends to help me now.

He has no friends to help him now

It's fare thee well my old lover
                 A                         D
I never expect to see you again
                                                           G
For I'm bound to ride that northern railroad
                     A                  D
Perhaps I'll die upon this train.

Perhaps he'll die upon this train.

D                                                G
You can bury me in some deep valley
                  A                          D
For many years where I may lay
                                               G
Then you may learn to love another
                    A                          D
While I am sleeping in my grave.
                    A                         D
While he is sleeping in his grave.

[Verse 5]

D                                                      G
Maybe your friends think I'm just a stranger
                        A                    D
My face you'll never see no more.
                                                    G
But there is one promise that is given
                    A                          D
I'll meet you on God's golden shore.
                        A                           D
He'll meet you on God's golden shore..
