Man of Constant Sorrow
Bluegrass Banjo Arrangement
Richard Hefner

Keep in mind as you play this that there are two lines of tablature (upper and lower). The upper line contains only the melody of the song so that you’ll know where you are while playing it. The lower line begins with a simple accompaniment that is similar to what I am playing on the MP3 recording beginning at the 2nd verse. The break that follows is the same as on the MP3.

Note: The MP3 was recorded in the key of F using a long neck banjo that I usually capo on the 3rd fret. In this case I capoed the 1st fret because it suited my voice better (and because I learned the song by playing along with the recording from the movie, “O Brother, Where Art Thou,” and it was also in F). The computer generated MIDI files above are still in the key of G.

This MP3 was my most popular recording on the original MP3.com and was the #1 song in the Bluegrass genre for two years (2001 & 2002) with over 200,000 plays.
