A D Bm Em
I am a man of constant sorrow; I've seen troubles all my days

I'm goin' back to Cali-for-nia, * place where I was partly raised

All through this world I'm bound to ramble
Bm Em
Through storm and wind, through sleet and rain

I'm bound to ride that northern railroad; Perhaps I'll take the very next train.
A D Bm Em
Your friends, they say I am a stranger; You'll never see my face no more
A D Bm Em
There is just one promise that's given; We'll sail on God's golden shore
A D Bm Em
I am a man of constant sorrow; I've seen troubles all my days
A D Bm Em
I'm goin' back to Cali-for-nia, * Place where I was partly raised
