G

[Verse 1]

D G              C                          D        
I am a man of constant sorrow, I have seen trouble 
      G
all my days.
D G               C                             D    
I bid farewell to old Kentucky, The place where I was
            G
 borned and raised.

[Verse 2]

D       G                        C            
Oh, for six long years I've been in trouble, My 
  D                         G
pleasure here on earth is done.
D   G               C                         D      
For in this world I have to ramble, I have no friends
            G
 to help me now.
D  G                 C                           D   
Oh fare you well, my own true lover, I fear I'll 
          G
never see you again.
D   G                      C                         
For I am bound to ride the northern railroad, Perhaps
      D            G
 I'll die upon the train.

[Verse 3]
D  G                   C                          D  
Oh, you can bury me in some deep valley, For many 
               G
years where I may lay.
D   G                      C                      
And while you're dreaming, while you're slumbering, 
             D               G
While I am sleeping in the grave.

[Verse 4]
D        G                   C                   D   
Oh, it's fare you well to my native country, The 
                        G
place where I have loved so well.
D   G              C                            
For I have had all kinds of trouble, In this vain 
  D                    G
world, no tongue can tell.

[Verse 5]
D   G                     C                          
But friends although I may be a stranger, My face you
     D            G
 may never see no more.
D   G                    C                           
But there is one promise that's been given, Where we 
    D                  G
can meet on a beatiful shore.
