Folsom Prison Blues chords by Dick nolan

Skip chords and lyrics
Verse 1
I (A major) hear (D major) that train a comin',
it's rollin' round the bend
I ain't seen the sunshine
since I don't know when
Well I'm (G major) stuck at Folsom Prison,
and time keeps draggin' on (D major)
And (A major) I hear that lonesome whistle
On down through San Ant (D major) one
Well I bet there's rich folks eatin'
In a fancy dinin' car
They're probably drinkin' coffee
And smokin' big cigars
But I know (G major) I had it coming
I know I can't be free (D major)
But those (A major) people keep a -movin'
And that's what tortures me (D major) (G major)
(D major) (A major)
(D major)
Well, when I was just a baby,
my mama told me,
always be a good boy,
don't ever play with guns.
But I (G major) shot a man in Reno
just to watch him die. (D major)
Now when I (A major) hear that lonesome whistle,
I hang my head and I cry (D major) (G major)
(D major) (A major)
(D major)
Well, if they freed me from this prison,
if that railroad train was mine
I guess I'd move it on
a little farther down the line
Far (G major) from foes and prison,
that's where I'll always stay (D major)
Now when I (A major) hear that lonesome whistle,
it'll roll my blues away
(D major) Music
