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