Intro 1
(B7) (E major)
Verse 1
I (E 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 (A major) stuck in Folsom prison
And time keeps draggin' on (E major)
But that (B7) train keeps a-rollin'
On down to San An (E major) tone

Verse 2
When I (E major) was just a baby, my mama told me
"Son, always be a good boy
Don't ever play with guns"
But I (A major) shot a man in Reno
Just to watch him (E major) die
When I (B7) hear that whistle blowin'
I hang my head and (E major) cry
Interlude 1

Verse 3
I (E major) bet there's rich folks eatin'
In a fancy dinin' car
They're probably drinkin' coffee
And smokin' big cigars
Well, I know (A major) I had it comin'
I know I can't be (E major) free
But those (B7) people keep a-movin'
And that's what tortures (E major) me
Interlude 2

Verse 4
Well, if they (E 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
(A major) Far from Folsom prison
That's where I want to (E major) stay
And I'd (B7) let that lonesome whistle
Blow my blues a (E major) way
(B7) (E major)
