Chords with lyrics

It takes a worried man to sing a worried song
  D MajorD           A augmentedA
It takes a worried man to sing a worried song
      E MajorE     E7E7        A augmentedA
I'm worried now but I won't be worried long.

I went across the river and I lay down to sleep
 D MajorD             A augmentedA
I went across the river and I lay down to sleep
      E MajorE       E7E7       A augmentedA
When I woke up there were shackles on my feet.


Twenty nine links of chain around my feet
D MajorD          A augmentedA
Twenty nine links of chain around my feet
      E MajorE    E7E7      A augmentedA
And on each link an initial of my name.

It takes a worried man to sing a worried song
  D MajorD           A augmentedA
It takes a worried man to sing a worried song
      E MajorE     E7E7        A augmentedA
I'm worried now but I won't be worried long.

I asked the judge 'what will be my time?'
D MajorD         A augmentedA
I asked the judge 'what will be my time?'
      E MajorE      E7E7      A augmentedA
Twenty one years on the R.C. Mountain Line.

Train came around - sixteen coaches long
  D MajorD          A augmentedA
The train came around - sixteen coaches long
      E MajorE    E7E7        A augmentedA
The girl I love is on that train and gone.


It takes a worried man to sing a worried song
  D MajorD           A augmentedA
It takes a worried man to sing a worried song
      E MajorE     E7E7        A augmentedA
I'm worried now but I won't be worried long.

Should anyone ask you 'who composed this song?'
    D MajorD        A augmentedA
Should anyone ask you 'who composed this song?'
      E MajorE    E7E7       A augmentedA
Say it was I and I sing it all day long.

  D MajorD           A augmentedA
It takes a worried man to sing a worried song
      E MajorE     E7E7        A augmentedA
