[C#] [G#] [F#]
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.
[B] I'm stuck in Folsom Prison, and time keeps [F#] draggin' on, but that [C#] train keeps a-rollin'
on down to San [F#] 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 [B] shot a man in Reno just to [F#] watch him die.
When [C#] I hear that whistle blowin', I hang my head [F#] and cry.

[A] [F#]
I bet there's red boats eatin' in a fancy dinin' car.
They're probably drinkin' coffee and smokin' big cigars.
Well, [B] I know I had it comin', I know I can't [F#] be free.
But [C#] those people keep a-movin', and that's what [F#] tortures me.
[F#m] [F#]

[C#]
[C] [G#] [F#] 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, [B] far from Folsom Prison.
That's where I want [F#] to stay.
And I'd let that lonesome whistle blow my blues away.
[C#] [F#] [N]
