[INTRO]
F C F C F C Bb F C
[VERSE 1]
F Bb C
I don’t think I’ve encountered a man so irate
F Bb C
You’re a better man than I if you get past his gate
F Bb C
He treats hawkers and Mormons with equal disdain
Bb C
Jesus, I feel won’t be coming back again.
F Bb C
He’s got nothing for you to borrow
F Bb C
And a mastiff in the back running loose
Dm Bb
He’s a man of constant sorrow
C C7 F C F C
With a garage in constant use.
[VERSE 2]
F Bb C
I once had occasion to stand on his bin
F Bb C
I was trying to attract his attention within
F Bb C
A gap in the curtains afforded a view
Bb C
Of ultimate loneliness; absolute blue.
F Bb C
I have sympathy also for Zorro
F Bb C
Who was fencing away the abuse
Dm Bb
From a man of constant sorrow
C C7 F C F C
With a garage in constant use.
Dm Bb Dm Bb Dm Bb C C7
[VERSE 3]
F Bb C
A yacht on his windowsill according to some
F Bb C
Alludes to a tragedy which rendered him numb
F Bb C
To cope with the grief and the hurt and the loss
Bb C
He exited Crieff, Perth and Kinross.
F Bb C
And I’m sure I could cure him tomorrow
F Bb C
By suggesting we broker a truce
Dm Bb
Between his mind of constant sorrow
C C7 F C7 F
And his garage in constant use.
