Folsom Prison Blues chords by Living Marimbas
Verse 1
G
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 I'm
C
stuck at Folsom Prison,
D
G
and time keeps dragging on
D
But that train keeps rollin' on
C
G
down to San Antonio
Em
G
When I was just a baby,
my mama told me, son,
Always be a good boy,
don't ever play with guns.
C
What a shot a man in Reno,
G
just to watch him die
D
Dm
D
When I hear that whistle blowin',
G
C
I hang my head and I cry
G
D
G
Em
G
I bet there's rich folks eatin'
in a fancy dinin' car
They're probably drinkin' coffee
and smokin' big cigars
Bb
C
I know I had it coming,
G
no I can't be real
D
But those people keep on moving,
G
Ab
and that's what tortures me
If they freed me from this prison,
if that railroad train was mine,
I bet I'd move it over farther down the line
Db
Far from Folsom Prison,
Ab
that's where I wanna be
Eb
And I let that lonesome whistle
Outro 1
blow my blues away
Ab
