Half Man Half Biscuit – Man Of Constant Sorrow With A Garage In Constant Use (Guitar)

        F                        Bb      C
I don’t think I’ve encountered a man so irate

         F                        Bb           C
You’re a better man than I if you get past his gate

          F                        Bb       C
He treats hawkers and Mormons with equal disdain

Bb                     C
Jesus, I feel won’t be coming back again.

         F           Bb     C
He’s got nothing for you to borrow

      F              Bb           C
And a mastiff in the back running loose

       Dm              Bb
He’s a man of constant sorrow

       C         C7       F   C  F  C
With a garage in constant use.

  F                    Bb           C
I once had occasion to stand on his bin

      F                      Bb           C
I was trying to attract his attention within

  F                    Bb        C
A gap in the curtains afforded a view

   Bb                   C
Of ultimate loneliness; absolute blue.

       F        Bb       C
I have sympathy also for Zorro

        F        Bb       C
Who was fencing away the abuse

       Dm              Bb
From a man of constant sorrow

       C         C7       F   C  F  C
With a garage in constant use.

  F                        Bb          C
A yacht on his windowsill according to some

 F                         Bb           C
Alludes to a tragedy which rendered him numb

   F                           Bb           C
To cope with the grief and the hurt and the loss

   Bb             C
He exited Crieff, Perth and Kinross.

        F            Bb         C
And I’m sure I could cure him tomorrow

     F           Bb       C
By suggesting we broker a truce

            Dm               Bb
Between his mind of constant sorrow

        C         C7       F    C7 F
And his garage in constant use.
