The Singing Scoutmaster: Man Of Constant Sorrow

G                      C       

I am a man of constant sorrow  

          D       D7     G      

I've seen trouble all my days.  

G                     C         

I bid farewell to old Kentucky  

                D     D7       G        

The place where I was born and raised.  

                 D      D7       G          

(The place where he was born and raised. )  

G                               C        

For six long years I've been in trouble  

            D    D7            G       

No pleasure here on earth I've found.  

G                              C       

For in this world I'm bound to ramble  

          D       D7         G     

I have no friends to help me now.  

           D       D7          G       

(He has no friends to help him now. )  

G                               C      

It's fare thee well my own true lover  

        D      D7         G       

I never expect to see you again.  

G                                   C         

For I'm bound to ride that Northern railroad  

             D   D7        G       

Perhaps I'll die upon this train.  

               D   D7        G         

(Perhaps he'll die upon that train. )  

G                            C       

You can bury me in some deep valley  

         D     D7          G     

For many years where I may lay.  

G                          C        

Then you may learn to love another  

           D        D7    G       

While I am sleeping in my grave.  

             D        D7     G         

(While he is sleeping in his grave. )  

G                                   C         

Maybe your friends think I'm just a stranger  

            D     D7       G       

My face you never will see again.  

G                                C       

But there is one promise that is given,  

              D  D7           G       

I'll meet you on God's golden shore.  

                D  D7           G         

(He'll meet you on God's golden shore. )
