Van Morrison

It ^A takes a worried man to sing a worried song,

It ^D takes a worried man to sing a worried song,

I'm worried ^E now, but I won't be worried ^A long.


I ^A went across the river, I laid down to sleep,

I ^D went across the river, ^A I laid down to sleep,

When I woke ^E up, were the shackles on my ^A feet.


Twen ^A ty-nine links of chain around my leg,

Twen ^D ty-nine links of ^A chain around my leg,

And on each ^E link, the initial of my ^A name.
