N/A
Key: E major•
Verse 1
B
A
E
I hear
the train a -comin',
it's rollin' round the bend
And I ain't seen the sunshine since,
I don't know when
A
But I'm stuck in Folsom Prison,
E
and time keeps draggin' on
B
But that train keeps a -rollin' on
down to San Andre
E
When I was just a baby,
my mama told me, son
Always be a good boy,
don't ever play with guns
A
But I shot a man in Reno
E
just to watch him die
B
When I hear that whistle blowin'
E
A
I hang my head and cry
E
B
Bm
E
Well, I bet there's rich folks eatin'
from a fancy dinin' car
They're probably drinkin' coffee,
smokin' big cigars
D
A
Well, I know I had it comin',
E
I know I can't be free
B
But those people keep a -movin',
E
A
and that's what I told you.
E
B
E
Well, if they freed me from this prison,
if that railroad train was mine
I bet I'd move it on a little
farther down the line
A
Far from Folsom Prison,
E
that's where I want to stay
B
And I'd let that lonesome whistle
Outro 1
blow my blues away
