[F] It's life!

Hello, Cash.
Thank you.
[E] [C] Hello, I'm [B] Johnny Cash.
How are you?
[E]
I hear the train a comin'.
It's rollin' around the bend.
And I ain't seen the sunshine since
I don't know when.
[A] I'm stuck in Folsom Prison.
And time keeps [E] draggin' on.
[B] But that train keeps rollin'
on down to San [E] Antonio.
When I was just a baby,
my mama told me,
son, always be a good boy.
Don't ever play with guns.
[A] But I shot a man in Reno
[E] [A] just to watch [E] him die.
[B] When I hear that whistle blowin',
I hang my head [E] and cry.

[B]
[Bb] [G] [E] I bet there's rich folks eatin'
in a fancy dining car.
They're probably drinkin' coffee
and smokin' big cigars.
Well, [A] I know I had it comin'.
I know I can't be [E] free.
[B] But those people keep a-movin'.
And that's what [E] tortures me.
One more [Em] time!

[Bb] [G] [E] Well, if they freed me from this prison,
if that railroad train was mine,
bet I'd move it on a little farther down the line.
[A] Far from Folsom Prison,
that's where I [E] want to stay.
And [B] I'd let that lonesome whistle
blow [Eb] my blues [E] away.
[B] Oh, those nights!
[E]
[D] [E] [G]
Thank [N] you.
