Artist: Everlast
Title: Folsom Prison Blues
Tuning: Three Steps Down (E A D G B E) to (B E A D F# B)


Gtr.1 - Electric
Gtr.2 - Acoustic


I know that the Johnny Cash version is standard,
but Everlast’s version sounds more loose and twangy
and I just couldn’t get that in standard.

(I’ve been looking this song up since I heard it on the radio,
and there were only tabs by Johnny Cash,
so this is the very first tab of Folsom Prison Blues by Everlast. So enjoy.)

-Lyrics-
A
I hear the train a comin', comin’ round the bend

and I ain't seen the sunshine since I don't know when,
    D                                           A
I'm stuck in Folsom prison, time keeps draggin' on
     D                                          A
that train just keeps a rollin' on down to San Anton..

A
When I was just a baby my mama told me. Son,

always be a good boy, don't ever play with guns.
      D                                    A
But I shot a man in Reno just to watch him die
       D                                            A
when I hear that whistle blowin’ I hang my head and cry..

A
Be Findin’ rich folks eating in a fancy dining car

they're probably drinkin' whiskey and smoking big cigars.
       D                                       A
Well I know I had it comin’, I know I can't be free
          D                                             A
but those people keep a movin' and that's what tortures me...

A
If they'd free me from this prison, if that railroad train was mine

I'd probably move it just a little further down the line
D                                              A
far from Folsom prison, that's where I long to stay
        D                                           A
and I'd let that lonesome whistle blow all my blues away.....
