Folsom Prison Blues Chords

[Intro]
E E E A A7 B7 B7 A A7 E
 
[Verse]
E
I hear the train a comin' It's rollin' 'round the bend
E
And I ain't seen the sunshine Since I don't know when
    A                                              E7 E E7
I'm stuck in Folsom Prison And time keeps draggin' on
         B7                                     A  A7 E
But that train keeps a-rollin' on down to San Antone
 
[Verse]
E
When I was just a baby My Mama told me Son
E
Always be a good boy  Don't ever play with guns
      A                                     E  E7 E E7
But I shot a man in Reno Just to watch him die
       B7                                           A  A7 E
When I hear that whistle blowin' I hang my head and cry
 
[Break]

[Verse]
E
I bet there's rich folks eatin' In some fancy dining car
E
They're probably drinkin' coffee  And smokin' big cigars
      A                                        E  E7 E E7
But I know I had it comin'  I know I can't be free
          B7                                            A  A7 E
But those people keep a-movin' And that's what tortures me
 
[Verse]
E
Well if they freed me from this prison  If that railroad train was mine
E
I bet I'd have it moved a little  Further down the line
         A                                         E  E7 E E7
Far away from Folsom Prison That's where I want to stay
        B7                                       A  A7 E
And I'd let that lonesome whistle  Blow my blues away
 
[Outro]
