[Em]
[D#] [N] Lights out!
[C]
[B] [D#]
[B] [G] [E]
I hear a train a-comin'
It's rollin' round the bend
I ain't seen the sunshine since
I don't know when
[A] I'm stuck in Folsom Prison
And time keeps draggin' [E] on
[B] That train keeps a-rollin'
Up down the [F#] sand
[E] So when I was just a baby
My mama told me, son
Always be a good boy
[A] Don't ever play with guns
Boss [E] you'll die
[B]
Well I'm stuck in Folsom Prison
I wake my head [E] and cry
[A]
[E]
[B]
[E]
Well I bet there's rich folks in that fancy-dyin' car
Probably drinkin' coffee and smokin' big [A] stars
I knew I had it comin'
I know I can't [E] be free
That
[B] train keeps a-rollin'
And it just [E] tortures me
They
[A]
[E]
[B] [E]
freed me from this prison
And that railroad train was mine
Then [F#] I moved [A] it all a little farther down the line
Folsom Prison is where I want [E] to stay
[B] Well I bet I'll know some way, son
Oh, my son
[E]
[Em]
[B]
