Man of Constant Sorrow

This is a very old song most recently made famous in the movie Oh Brother, Where Art Thou? Prior to the movie, the Stanley Brother's version was well known in bluegrass circles.

*It seems like a lot of people are doing this song in the key of F because that's where the movie version was done. I have printed the key of D chords because most guitar players find it a lot easier play it in "D positions" with a capo at the at the 3rd fret to produce the key of F sound. See my pages on how to use a capo and how to transpose for more information.
