Intro 1
(A major) (D major)
Verse 1
I (D major) hear the train a-comin'
It's rollin' 'round the bend
And I ain't seen the sunshine
Since, I don't know when
I'm (G major) stuck in Folsom prison
And time keeps draggin' on (D major)
But that (A major) train keeps a-rollin'
On down to San An (D major) tone

Verse 2
When I (D major) was just a baby, my mama told me
"Son, always be a good boy
Don't ever play with guns"
But I (G major) shot a man in Reno
Just to watch him (D major) die
When I (A major) hear that whistle blowin'
I hang my head and (D major) cry
Interlude 1
(D major) (D major) (D major) (D major)
(G major) (G major) (D major) (D major)
(A major) (A major) (D major)
Verse 3
I (D major) bet there's rich folks eatin'
In a fancy dinin' car
They're probably drinkin' coffee
And smokin' big cigars
Well, I know (G major) I had it comin'
I know I can't be (D major) free
But those (A major) people keep a-movin'
And that's what tortures (D major) me
Interlude 2
(D major) (D major) (D major) (D major)
(G major) (G major) (D major) (D major)
(A major) (A major) (D major)
Verse 4
Well, if they (D major) freed me from this prison
If that railroad train was mine
I bet I'd move it on
A little farther down the line
(G major) Far from Folsom prison
That's where I want to (D major) stay
And I'd (A major) let that lonesome whistle
Blow my blues a (D major) way
(A major) (D major)
