I Am A Man Of Constant Sorrow 
          C              F
I've seen trouble all my day. 
                         A#
I bid farewell to old Kentucky 
                C              F
The place where I was born and raised. 
                C               F
The place where he was born and raised 

F                               A#
For six long years I've been in trouble 
             C               F
No pleasures here on earth I found 
                               A#
For in this world I'm bound to ramble 
          C                  F
I have no friends to help me now. 
          C                   F

It's fare thee well my old lover

I never expect to see you again 
                                    A#
For I'm bound to ride that northern railroad 
             C             F
Perhaps I'll die upon this train.

Perhaps he'll die upon this train. 

F                            A#
You can bury me in some deep valley 
         C                 F
For many years where I may lay 
                            A#
Then you may learn to love another 
           C              F
While I am sleeping in my grave. 
            C               F
While he is sleeping in his grave. 

F                                   A#
Maybe your friends think I'm just a stranger 
               C            F
My face you'll never see no more. 
                                 A#
But there is one promise that is given 
              C               F
I'll meet you on God's golden shore. 
               C               F
He'll meet you on God's golden shore..

In The Jailhouse Now

C
I had a friend named Ramblin' Bob who used to steal, gamble and rob
 	                           F
He thought he was the smartest guy around
F
But I found out last Monday that Bob got locked up Sunday
 	D	                          G
They've got him in the jailhouse way down town.

G	              C	                         F
He's in the jailhouse now, he's in the jailhouse now
G
Well I told him once or twice to stop playin' cards and shootin' dice
 	              C
He's in the jailhouse now

F - C - G - C

C
Bob liked to play his poker, Peanuckle with Stan Yoker
                                    F
But shootin' dice was his favourite game
F
Well he got throw'd in jail, with nobody to go his bail
          D                             G
The judge done said that he refused the fine.

G	              C	                         F
He's in the jailhouse now, he's in the jailhouse now

G                    C                           F
Well I went out last Tuesday, I met a girl named Susie

I said I was the swellest guy around
F
Well we started to spendin' my money, and she started to callin' me honey
   D                        G
We took in every cabaret in town.
G                      C                           F
We're in the jailhouse now, We're in the jailhouse now
G
Well I told that judge right to his face, I don't like to see this place
                       C
We're in the jailhouse now

As I went in the river to pray
B7               E             A
Studying  about that good old way
B7             E              A
And who shall wear, the starry crown
B7           A         E
Good lord, show me the way

(Chorus)
B7    E         A    E
O sisters let's go down

Let's go down, come on down
B7    E         A    E

Some bright morning when this life is o'er, I'll fly away.
D                                       D   A   D
to that home on God's celestial shire, I'll fly away.

When I die, hallelujah by and by, I'll fly away.

When the shadows of this life have gone, I'll fly away.
D                                        D    A   D
Like a bird from prison bars have flown, I'll fly away.

Chorus...

D                                   G        D
Oh how glad and happy when we meet, I'll fly away.
D                                      D    A   D
No more cold iron shackles on my feet, I'll fly away.

Chorus...

D                                   G        D
Just a few more weary days and then I'll fly away.
D                                   D     A   D
To a land where joys will never end I'll fly away.

Verse 1:
           B
I'm going back to the time when we owned this town
      E
Down Powder Mill Lane, in the battlegrounds
C#m        B                   G#m  B     F#
We were friends and lovers and clueless clowns


Verse 2:
                      B       
I didn't know I'd be finding out now I was torn from you
         E
When we thought about things we were gonna do
C#m      B                    G#m B  F# 
We were wide eyed dreamers and wiser too


Chorus:
               E              B 
Go down to the rides on East Parade,
        G#m                   F#
by the lights of the Palace Arcade
                    E                     G#m   F#   
Watch night coming down on the Sovereign Light Café


Verse 3:
                          B
I'm begging you for some sign, but you've still got nothing to say
        E
Don't turn your back on me, don't walk away
C#m     B                   G#m  B   F#
I'm a better man now than I was that day


Chorus:
                      E              B 
Let's go down to the rides on East Parade,
        G#m                   F#
by the lights of the Palace Arcade
                    E                     G#m   F#   
Watch night coming down on the Sovereign Light Café

                 E               B
Go down to the bandstand on the pier
           G#m                    F#
Watch the drunks and the lovers appear
                      E                     G#m   F#     
Take time, just the stars at the Sovereign Light Café


Bridge:
   E        B           F#
I wheel my bike off the train,
        F#
Up the North Trade Road,
 E        B             F# 
Look for you on Marley Lane
                          G#m
In every building, every streetlight
                   E               F#  G#m  B  F#
Oh why did we ever go so far from home?


Verse 4:
                        B
You keep on leaving me mile long traces of who you are
         E
You can get a big house and a faster car
C#m      B                    G#m   B  F#
You can run away boy, but you won't go far


Chorus:
                      E              B
Let's go down to the rides on East Parade,
        G#m                   F#
by the lights of the Palace Arcade
                    E                     G#m   F#   
Watch night coming down on the Sovereign Light Café

                    E                B
Stroll down to the bandstand on the pier
           G#m                    F#
Watch the drunks and the lovers appear
                     E                      G#m   F#
Take time, just the stars at the Sovereign Light Café 

      E            B    G#m
La la la la la la la la Yeah,

There's a portrait

In a back room

Which I'll keep for days upon

Which I relent

And gaze for hours on

The muscle, skin and bone

Show me please

In every line and scar

A feeling of dread

At least when she's around

The trouble's there

Listen Johnny
              Ab
You're like a mother
       F#
To the girl you've fallen for
                 C#
And you're still falling

            B
And if they come tonight
       Bbm
You'll roll up tight
     F#             Ab
And take whatever's coming to you next (oh, oh oh oh)

 F# Ab to end.

C                     G
Se a vida as vezes dá uns dias de segundos cinzas
           Am           F
E o tempo tic taca devagar
         Dm                   Am
Ponha o teu melhor vestido, brilha teu sorriso
      F              C
Vem pra cá, vem pra cá

                                     G
Se a vida muitas vezes só chuvisca, só garôa
        Am               F
E tudo não parece funcionar
         Dm                  Am
Deixe esse problema a toa, pra ficar na boa

Vem pra cá
