Chords pattern is the same for the entire song
F F Bb
I am a man of constant sorrow
C F
I've seen trouble all my days
F F Bb
I'll bid farewell to old Kentucky
C F
The place where I was born and raised
C F
The place where he was born and raised
For six long years I've been in trouble
No pleasure here on earth I found
For in this world I'm bound to ramble
I have no friends to help me down
He has no friends to help him down
It's fare thee well my old true lover
I never expect to see you again
For I'm bound to ride that northern railroad
Perhaps I'll die upon this train
Perhaps he'll die upon this train
You can bury me in sunny valley
For many years where I may lay
And you may learn to love another
While I am sleepin' in my grave
While he is sleepin' in his grave
Maybe your friends think I'm just a stranger
My face you never will see no more
But there is one promise that is given
I'll meet you on God's golden shore
He'll meet you on God's golden shore
