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
