[Introduction]
C  F  C  G7  C

[Chorus]
   C
It takes a worried man to sing a worried song
   F                      C
It takes a worried man to sing a worried song
            G7                          C
I'm worried now, but I won't be worried long

[Verse 1]
  C
I went across the river and I lay down to sleep
  F                           C 
I went across the river and I lay down to sleep
            G7                         C
When I woke up, put the shackles on my feet

[Verse 2]
C
Twenty-nine links of chain around my leg
F                    C
Twenty-nine links of chain around my leg
            G7                    C
And on each link is initial of my name

[Chorus]
   C
It takes a worried man to sing a worried song
   F                      C
It takes a worried man to sing a worried song
            G7                          C
I'm worried now, but I won't be worried long

[Instrumental break]
C   F    C    G7    C

[Verse 3]
C
I asked the judge, what might be my fine
  F                C
I asked the judge, what might be my fine
           G7                         C
Twenty-one years on the R.C. Mountain Line

[Verse 4]
    C
The train I ride, sixteen coaches long
    F             C
The train I ride, sixteen coaches long
           G7                        C
The girl I love is on that train and gone

[Chorus]
   C
It takes a worried man to sing a worried song
   F                      C
It takes a worried man to sing a worried song
            G7                          C
I'm worried now, but I won't be worried long

[Instrumental break]
C   F    C    G7    C

[Verse 5]
   C
If anyone ask you who composed this song
   F              C
If anyone ask you who composed this song
               G7                       C
Tell 'em 'twas I, and I sing it all day long

[Chorus]
   C
It takes a worried man to sing a worried song
   F                      C
It takes a worried man to sing a worried song
            G7                          C
I'm worried now, but I won't be worried long
