EI hear the train a-coming, it's rolling round the bend
E7and I ain't seen the sunshine since I don't know when
A EI'm stuck in Folsom Prison, and time keeps draggin' on
B7 EBut that train keeps a-rollin' on down to San Antone
[Verse 2]
EWhen I was just a baby, my Mama told me 'Son,
E7always be a good boy; don't ever play with guns.'
A EBut I shot a man in Reno, just to watch him die
B7 Ewhen I hear that whistle blowin' I hang my head and cry
[Solo]
E | E7 | E | E7
A | A | E | E
B7| B7| E |
[Verse 3]
EI bet there's rich folks eatin' in a fancy dining car
E7They're probably drinking coffee and smoking big cigars
A EWell, I know I had it coming, I know I can't be free
B7 EBut those people keep a moving, and that's what tortures me
[Solo]
E | E7 | E | E7
A | A | E | E
B7| B7| E |
[Verse 4]
EWell, if they freed me from this prison, if that railroad train was mine
E7I bet I'd move it on a little farther down the line
A EFar from Folsom Prison, that's where I want to stay
B7 EAnd I'd let that lonesome whistle blow my blues away
