[Verse 1]
A                      D
I am a man of constant sorrow
D         E              D
I've seen trouble all my days
A                     D
I bid farewell to old Kentucky
A               E7
The place where I  was borned and raised
 A           A7                     A
(In constant sorrow through all his days)


[Verse 2]
A                               A7
For six long years I've been in trouble
E7          A7                 E7
No pleasure here on Earth I've found
A           A7                 B7
For in this world I'm bound to travel
A         E7                 A7
I have no friends to help me now

[Verse 3]
A                                D
It's fare thee well, my old true lover
D       E7                A
I never expect to see you again
A                D                  E7
For I'm bound to ride that Northern Railroad
E7           D
Perhaps I'll die upon this train



[Verse 4]
A                            E7
You can bury me in some deep valley
E        F     G           A7
For many years where I may lay
A                         E7
And you may learn to love another
E7         B7             E7
While I am sleeping in my grave


[Verse 5]
A          E7                       A
Maybe your friends think I'm just a stranger
A           E7                A7
My face you never will see no more
A7               A7              E7
But there is one promise that is given
E7            A7
I'll meet you on God's golden shore
