Capo: no capo
Tune down a whole step or transpose -2 to match recording.
[Intro]
[G]
[Verse 1]
[G]I hear the train a comin’, it’s [G7]rollin’ round the bend
and I ain’t seen the sunshine since I don’t know [G7]when
[C]I’m stuck in Folsom Prison and time keeps draggin’ [G]on
[D7]But that train keeps a rollin’ on down to San An[G]tone
[Verse 2]
[G]When I was just a baby my Mama told me “Son
[G7]always be a good boy; don’t ever play with guns”.
[C]But I shot a man in Reno, just to watch him [G]die
[D7]When I hear that whistle blowin’ I hang my head and [G]cry
[Solo]
[G] | [G] | [G] | [G] | [G] | [G] | [G] | [G]
[C] | [C] | [C] | [C] | [G] | [G] | [G] | [G]
[D] | [D] | [D] | [D] | [G] | [G]
[Verse 3]
[G]I bet there’s rich folks eating from a [G7]fancy dining car
They’re probably drinking coffee and smokin’ big ci[G7]gars
[C]Well, I know I had it comin’, I know I can’t be [G]free
[D7]But those people keep a movin’ and that’s what tortures [G]me
[Solo]
[G] | [G] | [G] | [G] | [G] | [G] | [G] | [G]
[C] | [C] | [C] | [C] | [G] | [G] | [G] | [G]
[D] | [D] | [D] | [D] | [G] | [G]
[Verse 4]
[G]Well, if they freed me from this prison, if that [G7]railroad train was mine
I bet I’d move it on a little farther down the [G7]line
[C]Far from Folsom Prison, that’s where I want to [G]stay
[D7]And I’d let that lonesome whistle blow my blues a[G]way
