Hello, I'm almost Johnny Cash.
[B]
[G] [E]
Well I hear that train a-comin', it's rollin' around the bend.
I ain't seen the sunshine since I don't know when.
[A] I've been stuck in Folsom Prison.
That time keeps [E] draggin' on, [B] but that train keeps a -rollin'.
I don't [G] understand, [E] I don't.
When I was just a baby, my mama told me, son,
I'll be a good boy, don't ever play with guns.
[A] But I shot a man in Reno, just to watch [E] him die.
When [B] I hear that whistle blowin', I hang my head [E] and cry.

[B]
[G] [E]
Well I bet there's rich folks eatin' on a fancy dinin' car.
They're probably drinkin' coffee and smokin' big cigars.
[A] Well I know I had it comin', I know I can't be [E] free.
But [B] those people keep a-movin' on that good poor [E] Jersey.
[Em] [A]

[E]
Well if they'd free me from this prison, if that railroad train was mine,
Well I bet I'd move it on a little farther down the line.
[A] Far from Folsom Prison is where I'd [E] want to stay.
And [B] I'd let that lonesome whistle blow my [E] blues away.
[B] [E]
