Chords for Folsom Prison Blues (Live at Nassau Coliseum, Uniondale, NY - March 1990)

_ _ _ _ You know, I'm really glad we could bring this show to Nassau Coliseum.
Glad to be with some folks tonight. _
_ [E] _ _ _ _ _ _ [N]
This is a great tour.
I love working with these guys.
We haven't had a fight yet, and _ of course they've done everything I've told them to.
_ _ No, it's been a great tour and it's not over yet, thank God.
We're really enjoying it.
And thanks for coming out to the show.
I usually introduce this song by saying,
Hello, I'm Johnny Cash, but you already knew that. _
_ [B] _ _ _ _ _ _ [E] _
_ _ I hear the train a-comin', it's rollin' around the bend
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 a-rollin' on down to [E] San 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 _ just to watch [E] him die
_ _ _ _ _ [B] When I hear that whistle blowin', I hang my [E] head in pride
_ I _ _ _ _

_ _ _ [E] _ _ _ _
bet there's rich folks eatin' in a fancy dinin' car
They're probably drinkin' coffee and smokin' big cigars
[A] Well, I know I had it comin', I know I [E] can't be free
_ _ _ _ _ [B] But those people keep a _ -movin', and that's what [E] tortures me
_ Well, _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [A] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [E] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [B] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [E] _ _ _ if they freed me from this prison, if that railroad train was mine
Then I'd move it on a little farther down the line
[A] Far from Folsom Prison, that's where I want to [E]
stay
_ _ _ _ And [B] I'd let that lonesome whistle [F#m] blow my [B] blues away
