Skip chords and lyrics
Verse 1
I (A major) hear (D major) that train a -comin',
rollin' around the bend
And I ain't seen the sunshine
since I don't know when
Well I'm (G major) stuck in Folsom Prison,
and time keeps draggin' (D major) on
But that whistle (A major) keeps on a -blowin' (G major)
Way on down to San Ant (D major) one (A major)
When (D major) I was just a baby,
my momma told me son,
always be a good boy,
don't ever play with guns.
But I shot (G major) a man in Reno,
just to watch him die. (D major)
When I (A major) hear that whistle blowin'
I (G major) hang my head and cry (D major) (A major)
Bet (D major) there's rich folks eatin'
their fancy dinin' car
They're prob 'ly drinkin' coffee
and smokin' big cigars
Well, I know (G major) I had it comin'
I know I can't be free (D major)
But those (A major) people keep on movin'
An (G major) d that's what tortures me (D major) (A major)
Well, if they'd (D major) free me from this prison,
if that railroad train was mine
I bet I'd move it on a little
farther down the line
Far (G major) from foes and prison,
Outro 1
that's where I long to stay
(D major)
