Em G
Oh worries are about, and heavy on his gut
Em G
He feels he's being punished, for the bad things he has done
Am Em
Help him Jesus, help him, send him down a sign
Am D Em
'cos he feel's he is getting old before his time
Em G
And he is sitting at the table, the table he has set
Em G
He is begging for the courage to redeem some self respect
Am Em
Help him Jesus, help him, walk along the line
Am D Em
'cos he feel's he is getting old before his time
[Refrão]G Em
He says it takes a worried man to sing a worried song
G Em
It takes a worried man to sing a worried song
G Em
It takes a worried man to sing a worried song
Am D Em
He is worried now but he won't be worried long
He broke her heart on a warm and sunny day
Oh he broke her heart on a warm and sunny day
When she heard what he had to say
All that sun soon went away
He broke her heart on a cold and windy day
He says it takes a worried man
To sing a worried song
It takes a worried man
To sing a worried song
It takes a worried man
To sing a worried song
He is worried now
But he won't be worried long
And so he moves towards his sweet redeeming light
Shadows cast but none obscure his sight
And they wonder where he is going
While he is knelt before her throat
Refusing to go down without a fight
He says it takes a worried man
To sing a worried song
It takes a worried man
To sing a worried song
It takes a worried man
To sing a worried song
He is worried now
But he won't be worried long
