A D G
I am a man of constant sorrow
G/F# A D bass notes G F# E 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/F# A D bass notes G F# E 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/F# A D bass notes G F# E 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/F# A D bass notes G F# E 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
