I’m Troubled

Lester Flatt and Earl Scruggs

Lazy John & The Friday Blooze:

[D]Our courting’s a pleasure and [G]parting is [D]grief

But a falsehearted lover is [A]worse than a [D]thief

A thief can but rob you and [G]take what you [D]save

But a falsehearted lover will [A]lead you to your [D]grave

——————————————————–

[D]I’m troubled I’m troubled I’m [G]troubled in [D]mind

[D]If trouble don’t kill me lord [A]I’ll live a long [D]time

——————————————————–

[D]A grave will decay you and [G]turn you to [D]dust

[D]Ain’t one girl in a million that a [A]poor boy can [D]trust

[D]They’ll hug and kiss you and [G]tell you more [D]lies

[D]Than crossties on the railroad or [A]stars in the [D]sky

——————————————————–

[D]I’m troubled I’m troubled I’m [G]troubled in [D]mind

[D]If trouble don’t kill me lord [A]I’ll live a long [D]time

——————————————————–

[D]I’m going to Georgie I’m [G]going to [D]roam

[D]I’m going to Georgie to [A]make it my [D]home

[D]Gonna build me a cabin on a [G]mountains so [D]high

[D]Where the wild birds and the turtledoves can [A]hear my

sad [D]cry

——————————————————–

[D]I’m troubled I’m troubled I’m [G]troubled in [D]mind

[D]If trouble don’t kill me lord [A]I’ll live a long [D]time
