G
Your guitar's hanging on the wall
D
In a hole in Aberdeen
C/G F C/G
With the dancing shoes and the brakeman's blues
G F C/G
And the dirty magazines
G
I've heard that thing a thousand times
D
By the glow of kerosene
C/G F C/G
And I guess I heard you gave it up
G F C/G
For the sake of coming clean
G B7
Sorrow, ain't it sorrow
C/G D
Ain't is something, ain't it slow
G D
From the getting up that mighty high
F C/G
To the winding up that low
G B7
Sorrow, ain't it sorrow,
Em C/G
Ain't it something ain't it slow
G
You leave a trail
D
Of harm and hail
F C/G F C/G
Everywhere you go
G
The steel wires stretch across the place
D
And they cut it all apart
C/G F C/G
Where the worthless words of the wagging tongues
G F C/G
They cut you to the heart
G
I always knew the steel was cold
D
And I figured it was sharp
C/G F C/G
Now the steel strings keep me tethered to
G F C/G
The highway and the harp
G B7
Sorrow, ain't it sorrow
C/G D
Ain't is something, ain't it slow
G D
From the getting up that mighty high
F C/G
To the winding up that low
G B7
Sorrow, ain't it sorrow,
Em C/G
Ain't it something ain't it slow
G
You leave a trail
D
Of harm and hail
F C/G F C/G
Everywhere you go
D C/G G
they're going to put you in the paper
D C/G G
if you're too small for the screen
D C/G
they'll ride you blue
F C/G
and when they're through
F C/G
gonna turn you into glue
D
anyway
(break)
G D C/G F C/G G F C/G
G D C/G F C/G G F C/G
G
If your I's are always troubled
D
And your T's are double-crossed
C/G
The buzzards bound
F C/G
To claim he found
G F C/G
A man that wasn't lost
G
You'll find me here this time, next year
D
If I'm anywhere at all
C/G
Down in the birl
F C/G
The swine and pearls
G F C/G
The girls and alcohol
G B7
Sorrow, ain't it sorrow
C/G D
Ain't is something, ain't it slow
G D
From the getting up that mighty high
F C/G
To the winding up that low

Sorrow, ain't it sorrow,

Ain't it something ain't it slow

You leave a trail

Of harm and hail

Everywhere you go Everywhere you go
