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

Chorus:
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


  Em                             G
He broke her heart on a warm and sunny day
   Em                              G
Oh he broke her heart on a warm and sunny day
Am
When she heard what he had to say
Em
All that sun soon went away
Am                      D         Em
He broke her heart on a cold and windy day
G
He says it takes a worried man
Em
To sing a worried song
G
It takes a worried man
Em
To sing a worried song
G
It takes a worried man
Em
To sing a worried song
Am
He is worried now
D                      Em
But he won't be worried long
Em                                         G
And so he moves towards his sweet redeeming light
       Em                        G
Shadows cast but none obscure his sight
        Am
And they wonder where he is going
           Em
While he is knelt before her throne
Am              D             Em
Refusing to go down without a fight
G
He says it takes a worried man
Em
To sing a worried song
G
It takes a worried man
Em
To sing a worried song
G
It takes a worried man
Em
To sing a worried song
Am
He is worried now
D                      Em
But he won't be worried long
