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