Man of Constant Sorrow 1962

Words and Music by Paul Stookey and Peter Yarrow (©1962)
They wrote it. They need to be credited on all the web sites.
So many bands covered it and made it their own, I feel PPM got lost in the cracks at tab sites and such.
Such luscious interwoven harmony from Peter Paul and Mary. Easy to finger pick intro chords A augmentedA and D.
So here it is:


Capo 1 (sometimes flat)


Intro A augmentedA D MajorD


A augmentedA            D MajorD        B minorBm       E minorEm
I am a man of constant sorrow I've seen troubles all my day
     A augmentedA      D MajorD         B minorBm      E minorEm
I'm goin' back to Cali-for-nia place where I was partly raised

         A augmentedA         D MajorD
All through this world I'm bound to ramble
         B minorBm           E minorEm
Through storm and wind Through sleet and rain

       A augmentedA         D MajorD           B minorBm         E minorEm
I'm bound to ride That northern railroad Perhaps I'll take The very next train.
          A augmentedA      D MajorD           B minorBm       E minorEm
Your friends, they say I am a stranger You'll never see My face no more

       A augmentedA          D MajorD        B minorBm        E minorEm
There is just one Promise that's given We'll sail on God's golden shore

    A augmentedA        D MajorD        B minorBm       E minorEm
I am a man of constant sorrow I've seen troubles all my day
      A augmentedA      D MajorD         B minorBm      E minorEm
I'm goin' back to Cali-for-nia Place where I was partly raised
