Hi, and welcome to my tutorial on how to play Folsom Prison Blues live by Johnny Cash on bass guitar.
The guitar is tuned standard E, A, [D] D, _ [G] G. _
[C] And everything we play is going to be centered around fret 3.
_ _ We'll start like this, fret 3 on the A string to fret 5 on the D string and play
_ [G] 3 [C] _ _ _ [G] _ _ [F] _ _
and that is on the D string back to 3 on the A string.
_ [G] _ _ _ _ _ So 3, _ [Cm] 5, 3, [G] _ [F] 5, 3, [Cm] 3, [F] 3, [C] 3. _
And that's our intro. _ _ _ _ _
_ [F] _ _ _ _ _ _
After that, we're going to go into the verses and the verses will be played by going to fret 3 on the D string, fret 3 on the A string like this.
_ [E] _
_ [F] _ _ _ [G] Then we'll go to fret 2 [E] on the D string and _ _ _ go [F] back to 3 _ on the D string.
So it's like this.
[C] _ _ [F] _ _ [E] _ _
_ [F] [C] We'll repeat that.
_ [F] _ [Em] _ _
_ [F] _ [C] _ _ [F] _ _ [C] _ [E] _
[Fm] _ [C] _ _ [F] _ And then we'll go [G] _ [A] _ [Bb] _ [Gb] climbing to a B flat.
So we went [F] fret 3 on the D string, _ _ _ open [G] G, _ _ _ [A] A, _ _ B flat.
[Bb] _ _ _
[D] And when we get to B flat, we're going to go [Bb] 3, _ [F] B flat, _ F.
[Bb] _ _ _
[F] _ _ _ [Bb] _ _ _ [F] _
[Bb] And then, _ _ _ _ _ so that was [F] B flat, [Bb] F, B [F] flat, [Bb] F, [F] B flat, F, [Bb] B flat, B flat.
[Gb] And then we'll go [F] back to where we started from. _ _
[C] _ [F] _ _ [C] _ [E] _ [Fm] _ _ [Db] _
_ [F] _ And then [G] we'll go down to [E] fret 2. _
_ _ And that'll lead us into our last part, [C] which is 3 _ on the A string [G] to 5.
_ _ [Ab] And [C] we'll play this. _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [G] _ _ And we'll go back to our [F] groove.
[C] _ _ [F] _ _ [C] _ [F] _
_ [C] So _ _ _ _ _ let's play through the entire thing.
Starting with the intro, fret 3 on the A string.
