A cappella
In constant sorrow through his days
G C
I am a man of constant sorrow
D G
I've seen trouble all my day.
C
I bid farewell to old Kentucky
D G
The place where I was born and raised.
D G
The place where he was born and raised.
G C
For six long years I've been in trouble
D G
No pleasures here on earth I found
C
For in this world I'm bound to ramble
D G
I have no friends to help me now.
D G
He has no friends to help him now.
G C
It's fare thee well my old lover
D G
I never expect to see you again
C
For I'm bound to ride that northern railroad
D G
Perhaps I'll die upon this train.
D G
Perhaps he'll die upon this train.
G C
You can bury me in some deep valley
D G
For many years where I may lay
C
Then you may learn to love another
D G
While I am sleeping in my grave.
D G
While he is sleeping in his grave.
G C
Maybe your friends think I'm just a stranger
D G
My face you'll never see no more.
C
But there is one promise that is given
D G
I'll meet you on God's golden shore.
D G
He'll meet you on God's golden shore.
