Worried Man Blues - Elliott Murphy
-----------------------------------
[Chorus 1]
A
It takes a worried man to sing a worried song
D A
It takes a worried man to sing a worried song
A C#7 F#m
It takes a worried man to sing a worried song
Bm E A
I’m worried now, but I won’t be worried long
[Verse 1]
A
I went across the river and I lay down to sleep
D A
I went across the river and I lay down to sleep
A
Well I went across the river and I lay down to sleep
E A
When I woke up, I had the shackles and my feet
A
Twenty-nine links of chain around my leg
D A
Twenty-nine links of chain around my leg
A
I’ve twenty-nine links of chain around my leg
E A
And on each link is the initial of my name
[Chorus 2]
A
Because it takes a worried man to sing a worried song
D A
It takes a worried man to sing a worried song
A C#7 F#m
It takes a worried man to sing a worried song
Bm E A
I’m worried now, but I won’t be worried long
[Verse 2]
A
I asked the judge, what might be my fine
D A
I asked the judge, what might be my fine
A
I asked the judge, well what might be my fine
E A
Twenty-one years on that Rocky Mountain Line
A
The train that I ride, is sixteen coaches long
D A
The train that I ride, is sixteen coaches long
A
The train I ride, is sixteen coaches long
E A
The girl I love is on that train and gone
[Chorus 3]
A
Because it takes a worried man to sing a worried song
D A
It takes a worried man to sing a worried song
A C#7 F#m
It takes a worried man to sing a worried song
Bm E A
I’m worried now, but I won’t be worried long
