Man of Constant Sorrow  1962 

Words and Music by Paul Stookey and Peter Yarrow (Β©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 and D.
So here it is:  


Capo 1 (sometimes flat)


Intro A  D


A                       D                Bm              Em
I am a man of constant sorrow  I've seen troubles all my day
          A            D                  Bm            Em
I'm goin' back to Cali-for-nia place where I was partly raised

                  A                  D
All through this world I'm bound to ramble 
                  Bm                      Em
Through storm and wind  Through sleet and rain
A                  D                      Bm                 Em
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 day
           A            D                  Bm            Em 
I'm goin' back to Cali-for-nia Place where I was partly raised
