I’m Troubled I’m Troubled

Traditional

Key of D · Chords: I IV V

Chorus

I’m troubled I’m troubled
I’m troubled in mind
If trouble don’t kill me
I’ll live a long time

Verse 1

    D                   G           D
Now meeting is pleasure and parting is grief
                          A7            D
And a false-hearted lover is worse than a thief
                            G         D
A thief can but rob you and take what you’ve saved
                             A7          D
But a false-hearted lover’ll take you to your grave

Verse 2

    D                     G            D
The grave will detain you and turn you to dust
                            A7       D
Ain’t a girl in a million a poor boy can trust
                         G        D
They’ll hug you, they’ll kiss you they’ll tell you more lies
                                  A7              D
Then the cross ties on a railroad or the stars in the skies

Verse 3

    D                G         D
I’m going to Georgia I’m going to roam
                     A7            D
I’m going to Georgia gonna make it my home
                          G             D
Gonna build me a cabin in the mountains so high
                                          A7            D
Where the wild birds and the turtle doves can’t hear my sad cry
