Johnny Cash - Folsom Prison Blues: chords

   F
I hear the train a-coming, it's rolling round the bend
                                    F7
and I ain't seen the sunshine since I don't know when
     A#                                             F
I'm stuck at Folsom Prison, and time keeps draggin' on
          C7                                     F
But that train keeps a-rollin' on down to San Antone

When I was just a baby my mama told me, "Son
Always be a good boy, don't ever play with guns"
But I shot a man in Reno just to watch him die
When I hear that whistle blowing, I hang my head and cry

I bet there's rich folks eating in a fancy dining car
They're probably drinkin' coffee and smoking big cigars
Well I know I had it coming, I know I can't be free
But those people keep a-movin'
And that's what tortures me

Well if they freed me from this prison
If that railroad train was mine
I bet I'd move it on a little farther down the line
Far from Folsom prison, that's where I want to stay
And I'd let that lonesome whistle blow my blues away
