Folsom Prison Blues - Jonny Cash Intro C C C C [Verse 1] I [C] hear the train a comin’... it's rolling round the bend And I ain't seen the sunshine since... [C7] I don't know when I'm [F] stuck in Folsom prison... and time keeps draggin’ [C] on But that [G7] train keeps a rollin’... on down to San An [C] ton [Verse 2] When [C] I was just a baby... my mama told me son [SON] Always be a good boy... don't [C7] ever play with guns But I [F] shot a man in Reno... just to watch him [C] die When I [G7] hear that whistle blowin’... I hang my head and [C] cry [Verse 3] I [C] bet there's rich folks eating in a fancy dining car They're probably drinkin’ coffee... and [C7] smoking big cigars Well I [F] know I had it coming... I know I can't be [C] free But those [G7] people keep a-movin’... and that's what tortures [C] me [Verse 4] Well if they'd [C] free me from this prison, if that railroad train was mine I bet I'd move it on a little [C7] farther down the line [F] Far from Folsom prison... that's where I want to [C] stay And I'd [G7] let that lonesome whistle... blow my blues a-[C]way [Repeat from the beginning getting faster with each verse ] [Last line - Verse 4] [Slow up] And I'd [G7] let that lonesome whistle... blow my blues a-[C]way
