Sorrow chords by Kreg Viesselman

G
Your guitar's hanging on the wall
      D
In a hole in Aberdeen
         C/G                   F          C/G
With the dancing shoes and the brakeman's blues
        G        F    C/G
And the dirty magazines
      G
I've heard that thing a thousand times
        D
By the glow of kerosene
      C/G               F       C/G
And I guess I heard you gave it up
         G             F    C/G
For the sake of coming clean

G                B7
Sorrow, ain't it sorrow
         C/G                  D
Ain't is something, ain't it slow
          G                      D
From the getting up that mighty high
        F              C/G
To the winding up that low
G                 B7
Sorrow, ain't it sorrow,
          Em                C/G
Ain't it something ain't it slow
     G
You leave a trail
   D
Of harm and hail
F              C/G        F    C/G
Everywhere you go


     G
The steel wires stretch across the place
         D
And they cut it all apart
           C/G                    F      C/G
Where the worthless words of the wagging tongues
     G              F    C/G
They cut you to the heart
  G
I always knew the steel was cold
       D
And I figured it was sharp
         C/G                   F       C/G
Now the steel strings keep me tethered to
     G              F    C/G
The highway and the harp


G                 B7
Sorrow, ain't it sorrow
         C/G                  D
Ain't is something, ain't it slow
          G                      D
From the getting up that mighty high
        F              C/G
To the winding up that low
G                 B7
Sorrow, ain't it sorrow,
          Em                 C/G
Ain't it something ain't it slow
     G
You leave a trail
    D
Of harm and hail
F              C/G        F       C/G
Everywhere you go


D                C/G               G
they're going to put you in the paper
D         C/G                   G
if you're too small for the screen
D                C/G
they'll ride you blue
    F              C/G
and when they're through
      F             C/G
gonna turn you into glue
    D
anyway


(break)
G  D  C/G  F  C/G  G  F  C/G
G  D  C/G  F  C/G  G  F  C/G

        G
If your I's are always troubled
         D
And your T's are double-crossed
    C/G
The buzzards bound
     F      C/G
To claim he found
   G              F   C/G
A man that wasn't lost
        G
You'll find me here this time, next year
       D
If I'm anywhere at all
    C/G
Down in the birl
      F        C/G
The swine and pearls
     G          F   C/G
The girls and alcohol

G                 B7
Sorrow, ain't it sorrow
          C/G                 D
Ain't is something, ain't it slow
          G                      D
From the getting up that mighty high
        F              C/G
To the winding up that low
G                 B7
Sorrow, ain't it sorrow,
          Em                 C/G
Ain't it something ain't it slow
     G
You leave a trail
    D
Of harm and hail
F              C/G        F              C/G       G
Everywhere you go         Everywhere you go
