Worried Man Blues Johnny Cash |G | |C |C G | |G | |D |G | (Chorus) G It takes a worried man to sing a worried song, C G It takes a worried man to sing a worried song, G It takes a worried man to sing a worried song, D G I'm worried now, but I won't be worried long. (Verse) G I went across the river, I laid down to sleep, C G I went across the river, I laid down to sleep, D G When I woke up, were the shackles on my feet. G Twenty-nine links of chain around my leg, C G Twenty-nine links of chain around my leg, D G And on each link, the initial of my name. (Chorus) G It takes a worried man to sing a worried song, C G It takes a worried man to sing a worried song, G It takes a worried man to sing a worried song, D G I'm worried now, but I won't be worried long. |G | |C |C G | |G | |D |G | (Verse) G I asked the judge what might be my fine, C G I asked the judge what might be my fine, G I asked the judge what might be my fine, D G Twenty-one years on the Rocky Mountain Line. G The train arrived, sixteen coaches long, C G The train arrived, sixteen coaches long, G The train arrived, sixteen coaches long, D G The girl I love is on that train and gone. (Verse) G I asked the judge what might be my fine, C G I asked the judge what might be my fine, G I asked the judge what might be my fine, D G Twenty-one years on the Rocky Mountain Line. (Bridge) G If anyone asks you who composed this song, C G If anyone asks you who composed this song, G If anyone asks you who composed this song, D G Tell him ?twas I and I sing it all day long. (Verse) G I asked the judge what might be my fine, C G I asked the judge what might be my fine, G I asked the judge what might be my fine, D G Twenty-one years on the Rocky Mountain Line. (End)
