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