Intro: G 

           F              C 
I am a soul__ of constant sorrow 
          D              G 
I've seen trouble all my days 
              F             C 
I bid farewell__ to east Kentucky 
                D              G 
The place where I was born and raised 


               F         C 
For many a year__ I have struggled 
            D                  G 
No pleasure here on earth I've found 
                      F               C 
All through this world__ I'm bound to wander 
            D              G 
There is no one to help me now
