Short Life of Trouble
John Hartford

Banjo Tuned E, Capo 3, Key of A
Chorus:
Short life of trouble
It's only wise that we part
Short life of trouble
For a boy with a broken heart
Instrumental:
You know what you promised
Not more than three weeks ago
You promised that you'd marry me
Standing there by by your mama's kitchen door
Chorus:
Now you've broken your promise
So marry who you may
This old world is so big and so wide
I'll ramble back again someday
Chorus:
