Folsom Prison Blues by Johnny Cash (lyrics) Chords

[C] _ _ _ _ _ _ [F] _ _
_ I hear the train a-comin', it's rollin' around the bay, and I ain't seen the sunshine since
I don't know when.
[Bb] I'm stuck in Folsom Prison, and time [F] keeps draggin' on, _ _ _ _ _ [C] but that 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.
[Bb] But I shot a man in Reno _ just to watch [F] him die.
_ _ _ _ When [C] I hear that whistle blowin', I hang my head [F] and cry.

[F] _ _ _ _ I bet there's rich folks eatin' in a fancy dinin' car.
They're probably drinkin' coffee and smokin' big cigars.
[Bb] Well, I know I had it comin', I know I [F] can't be free. _ _
_ _ But [C] those people keep a-movin', [F] and that's what torturers need.

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, [Bb] far from Folsom Prison.
That's where I [F] want to stay. _ _ _ _
And I'd let that lonesome whistle blow my blues away.
