Worried Man Blues Chords & Lyrics - Johnny Cash

[CHORUS]
[A]It takes a worried man to sing a worried song,
It t[D]akes a worried man to [A]sing a worried song,
I'm worried [E]now, but I won't be worried [A]long.

[VERSE]
I [A]went across the river, I laid down to sleep,
I [D]went across the river, I [A]laid down to sleep,
When I woke [E]up, were the shackles on my [A]feet.
T[A]wenty-nine links of chain around my leg,
T[D]wenty-nine links of cha[A]in around my leg,
And on each l[E]ink, the initial of my [A]name.

[CHORUS]
[A]It takes a worried man to sing a worried song,
It t[D]akes a worried man to [A]sing a worried song,
I'm worried [E]now, but I won't be worried [A]long.

[VERSE]
I [A]asked the judge what might be my fine,
I [D]asked the judge what [A]might be my fine,
Twenty-one ye[E]ars on the Rocky Mountain L[A]ine.
Th[A]e train arrived, sixteen coaches long,
The [D]train arrived, sixteen c[A]oaches long,
The girl I love is [E]on that train and g[A]one.

[CHORUS]
[A]It takes a worried man to sing a worried song,
It t[D]akes a worried man to [A]sing a worried song,
I'm worried [E]now, but I won't be worried [A]long.

[BRIDGE]
I[A]f anyone asks you who composed this song,
I[D]f anyone asks you who comp[A]osed this song,
Tell him ?twas I and I [E]sing it all day lo[A]ng.

[CHORUS]
[A]It takes a worried man to sing a worried song,
It t[D]akes a worried man to [A]sing a worried song,
I'm worried [E]now, but I won't be worried [A]long.
