Intro 1

Verse 1
C 
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
F 
But I'm stuck in Folsom Prison,
C 
and time keeps draggin' on
G 
And that train keeps a -rollin'
C 
All down the sand and tone
When I was just a baby
My mama told me,
Always be a good girl
Don't ever play with guns
F 
But I shot a man in Reno
C 
Just to watch him die
G 
And when I hear that whistle blow
C 
F 
I hang my head and cry
C 
G 
C 
I bet there's rich folks eatin'
in a fancy dinin' car
They're probably drinkin' whiskey
and smokin' big cigars
F 
But I know I had it comin',
C 
I know I can't be free
G 
But those people keep on movin',
C 
and that's what tortures me
If they freed me from this prison,
if that railroad train was mine
I bet I'd move on over
a little further down the line
F 
Far from Folsom Prison,
C 
that's where I wanna stay
Cm 
G 
And I'd let that lonesome whistle
C 
F 
just blow my blues away
C 
G 
C 
We are turning left to Park Road
I ain't seen the sunshine
since I don't know when
F 
But I'm stuck in Folsom Prison
C 
and time keeps draggin' by
G 
When I hear that whistle blowin'
C 
I hang my head and cry
G 
Yeah, when I hear that lonesome whistle
