[Verse 1]
A      A               D
I am a man of constant sorrow
          E7             A
I've seen trouble all my days
A          A               D
I bid fare-well to old Ken-tucky
                E7             A
The place where I was born and raised

[Verse 2]
A            A                  D
For six long years I've been in trouble
             E7              A
No pleasures here on earth I found
A           A                  D
For in this world I'm bound to ramble
          E7                 A
I have no friends to help me now

[Verse 3]
A                  A                D
Maybe your friends think I’m just a stranger
              E7                A
A face you’ll never will see no more
A                A               D
But there is one promise that is given
              E7
I'll meet you (A capella) on God's golden shore
A
