Tune the guitar one whole step down
Intro: G/c /b D/a
G C
I am a man of constant sorrow
D G /c-b D/a
I've seen trouble all my days
G C
I bid farewell to old Kentucky
D G C
The place where I was born and raised
D G /b-c D/a
(The place where he was born and raised)
For six long years I've been in trouble
No pleasure here on earth I found
For in this world I'm bound to ramble
I have no friends to help me down
(He has no friends to help him down)
It's fare thee well my only brother
I merry expect to see you here
For I'm bound to ride that mornin' railroad
Perhaps I'll die upon this train
(Perhaps he'll die upon this train)
You can bury me in some deep valley
For many years... (sorry)
And you may learn to love another
While I am sleepin' in my grave
(While he is sleepin' in his grave)
Maybe your friends think I'm just a stranger
My face you'll never see no more
But there is one promise that is given
I'll meet you on God's golden shore
(He'll meet you on God's golden shore)
Apologies for mistakes in the text (I'm Italian)
That's a very great song!
This musical interpretation has been removed due to a legal threat from Moses & Singer LLP,
representing the National Music Publishers' Association (NMPA) and
The Music Publisher's Association of the United States (MPA).
Unfortunately, these threats are fueled by greed and being masked by a "copyright infringement." They claim tab sites are
"hurting the songwriters," but it's a known fact that the publishing companies garner most of the
revenue. Instead, they would prefer you to purchase the
official SOGGY BOTTOM BOYS tablature
which is an option we've always given our users. And due to the highly error-prone nature of tabs on the internet, many choose to go this route.
These companies also do not realize that tablature sites help to promote their artists.
For more information on this onslaught, you can read the
NY Times Article.
We hope one of the larger tablature sites will have the money to fight this. Until then, we urge you all to keep tabbing songs and sharing them in any way you can.
