[Eb]
We can thank the man in black for this one.
[Bbm] [Eb] [Ab]
[Eb] I hear the train coming, it's rolling round the bend.
I ain't [Ab] seen the sunshine since.
I [B] don't know when [Db] I'm stuck in Folsom prison.
And time keeps [Eb] dragging on.
But [Bb] that train just keeps a rolling [Eb] on down the sand.
And I don't know it.
When I was just a baby, my mama told me, son,
always be a good boy and [Ab] don't ever play with [B] guns.
But [Db] I shot a man in Reno just to watch [Eb] him die.
When I hear that whistle blowing, I hang [Db] my head [Eb] and cry.
Yeah, I bet there's rich folks eating in a fancy diner car.
They're probably drinking coffee and smoking big [B] cigars.
[Db] Well, I knew I had it coming.
I know I can't be [Eb] free.
But those people keep on moving.
[Bb] And that's what [Ab] tortures me.
All right.
[Eb] [Ebm]
[Ebm]
[Ab] [Ab] Yeah, [Eb] they free me from this prison.
And if the railroad train was mine, I'd [Bb] probably move it [Ab] a little farther down [B] the line.
Oh, [Db] far from Folsom prison.
That's what I want [Eb] to say.
[Ab] [Eb] Yeah, I'd let that lonesome whistle blow my blues away.
Yeah, [Ab] [Eb]
I'd let that lonesome whistle blow [Db] my blues away.
