Folsom Prison Blues Chords

 C
 I hear the train a coming it's rolling round the bend
 
                                               C7
 And I ain't seen the sunshine since I don't know when
 
    F                                           C
 I'm stuck at Folsom Prison and time keeps dragging on
 
           G7                                 C
  But that train keeps rolling on down to San Antone
 
 
 
 
 When I was just a baby my mama told me Son
 
                                        C7
 Always be a good boy don't ever play with guns
 
      F                                  C
 But I shot a man in Reno just to watch him die
 
       G7                                         C
 When I hear that whistle blowing I hang my head and cry
 
 
 
 
 I bet there's rich folks eating in a fancy dining car
 
                                             C7
 They're probably drinking coffee and smoking big cigars
 
      F                                    C
 But I know I had it coming I know I can't be free
 
     G7                                              C
 But those people keep a moving and that's what tortures me
 
 
 
 
 Well if they freed me from this prison  if that railroad train was mine
 
                                              C7
 I bet I'd move on over a little farther down the line
 
    F                                      C
 Far from Folsom Prison that's where I want to stay
 
         G7                                    C
  And I'd let that lonesome whistle blow my blues away
