Man of Constant Sorrow Guitar Tablature
“Man of Constant Sorrow” – Soggy Bottom Boys
Chris Thomas King on Guitar
From “Oh Brother, Where art thou?”

This is a pretty basic tab designed to give the gist of what the chord progression and some of the stuff Chris puts into the song sounds like.  It would be very difficult to tab out all of the little licks he does during the chords and still be able to read the tab, but if you listen to the song, you will be able to figure most of them out.  They are all very similar to the intro.  Good luck!

Capo on 1st Fret.

Ending is similar to intro, also you can add licks similar to the intro piece at the end of each verse between the chords.
