D      G               C
I am a man of constant sorrow
C/B       D              G      bass notes C B A as lead into D chord
I've seen trouble all my days
 D           G          C
I'll say goodbye to Colorado
            D               G        D
Where I was born and partly raised


D             G           C
Your mother says I'm a stranger
C/B       D              G      bass notes C B A as lead into D chord
My face you'll never see no more
 D               G       C
But there's one promise darling
              D               G        D
I'll see you on God's golden shore


D                    G                  C
Through this open world I'm about to ramble
C/B               D              G      bass notes C B A as lead into D chord
Through ice and snows sleet and rain
 D           G                    C
I'm about to ride that morning railroad
              D            G        D
Perhaps I'll die on that train


D            G       C
I'm going back to Colorado
C/B       D              G      bass notes C B A as lead into D chord
The place that I started from
 D         G                    C
If I had known how bad you'd treat me honey
    D               G
I never would have come
