Folsom Prison Blues Johnny Cash Intro: [G] [G] [G] [G] Verse 1: I [G] hear the train a comin’... it's rolling round the bend And I ain't seen the sunshine since... [G7] I don't know when I'm [C] stuck in Folsom prison... and time keeps draggin’ [G] on But that [D7] train keeps a rollin’... on down to San An[G]ton Verse 2: When [G] I was just a baby... my mama told me son (son) Always be a good boy... don't [G7] ever play with guns But I [C] shot a man in Reno... just to watch him [G] die When I [D7] hear that whistle blowin’... I hang my head and [G] cry Verse 3: I [G] bet there's rich folks eating in a fancy dining car They're probably drinkin’ coffee... and [G7] smoking big cigars Well I [C] know I had it coming... I know I can't be [G] free But those [D7] people keep a-movin’... and that's what tortures [G] me Verse 4: Well if they'd [G] free me from this prison, if that railroad train was mine I bet I'd move it on a little [G7] farther down the line [C] Far from Folsom prison... that's where I want to [G] stay And I'd [D7] let that lonesome whistle... blow my blues a[G]way
