I hear that train a-comin'
And I ain't seen the sunshine since
[A] I'm stuck
[E] on
[A] On down to San [E] Antonio
I was just a baby
[E] Girls be a good boy
[A] Oh, I shot a man in Reno
And I ain't seen the sunshine since
[A] I'm stuck
[E] on
[A] On down to San [E] Antonio
I was just a baby
[E] Girls be a good boy
[A] Oh, I shot a man in Reno

I hear that train a-comin'
It's rollin' round the bend
And I ain't seen the sunshine since
I don't know when, but [A] I'm stuck
In Folsom Prison
_ And time keeps draggin' [E] on
_ [B] But that train keeps a-rollin'
[A] On down to San [E] Antonio
_ When I was just a baby
My mama told me, son
[E] Girls be a good boy
Don't you ever play with guns
[A] Oh, I shot a man in Reno
Yeah, just to watch him [E] die
_ _ [B] When I hear that whistle blowin'
[A] I hang my head [Em] and cry
Oh, _

_ _ _ [E] I shot a man _ _ _
[B] _ _ _ _ [Am] _ _ _
[E] in Reno
Well, _ _ _ _ _ I met those rich folks
Eatin' in a fancy [Em] dinin' car
They're [E] probably drinkin' coffee
And smokin' big cigars
And [A] _ _ it's comin'
I know I can't [E] be free
_ _ [B] But the people keep on movin'
[A] And life's a tough [E] choosin' _ _ _
Oh, I _ _ love this prison
If that railroad train was mine
I'd probably [Am] move it on a little
Further down to _ [A] Folsom Prison _
_ That's what I [E] hope to say _
And [B] I let that lonesome whistle
[A] _ Blow my [E] blues away
_ _ _ [Em] _ _ _
[E] _ _ _ _ [C] _ _ [G] _ _
[E] _ _ _ _ [C] _ _ [F#] _ _
[A] _ _ _ And _ _ _
[E] _ _ _ _ [A#] [B] that damned old lonesome [A] whistle
It better blow my blues away _
