Spoof [G]Boredom Prison Blues

G I hear that train song comin ́, they’re G playing it again
Seems I’ve been playing it since G7 I don ́t know when
I ́m C bored of Folsom prison, and C it’s getting on my G nerves
And if D7 I play it one more time I may just go G beserk!

When G I was just a baby my G mama told me. Son
Don’t play G Folsom Prison or I’ll G7 have to get my gun
Well she C shot a man in Blackpool before the second G verse
It may D7 be an easy 12 Bar but there is nothing G worse
E7 INTO KEY CHANGE

I A bet there ́s people playing in some A Ukulele bar
Along with A Bring me Sunshine, Sloop John B A7 and Ring of Fire
Well I D know it’s fun for strumming D it’s in an easy A key
But that E7 train song keeps on coming, and that ́s what tortures A me

Well A if I tore it from my songbook, If I A I threw it in the trash
I’d A still remember word for word A7 the songs of Johnny Cash
D They’ve scarred my brain forever D They’re in there till I A die
Oh that’s E7 why when I hear that train song,
I hang my head and A cry
