Jelly Roll - Folsom Prison Blues (Johnny Cash Cover) chords
Start Jamming...
One two three [A] four I hear the train a-coming
It's rolling round the bend and I ain't seen the sun shine since I don't know [D] when I'm stuck in Foster prison
And time keeps [A] dragging on
[E] But I hear that train a-moving
On [A] down to San Antonio
When I was just a baby my [D] mama told me [A] son I always be a good boy
Don't ever play with guns, [D] but I shot a man in Reno
Just watch [A] him die
[E] When I hear that whistle blowing I hang my [A] head and cry
[Em] Talk to her real [Am] quick cousin here.
[A]
[Am] [D] [A] One take tenor [D] baby.
[A]
[D]
We [G] gonna keep the [A] fuck ups and everything
Ha ha ha ha ha
[E] Alright
Ha ha ha
[A] [Am] [A]
Watch this [Am] song
Well, I [Gm] bet there's rich folks eating in a fancy dining [A] car.
I bet they're drinking coffee
You're smoking a big cigar.
[D] Well, I knew I had it coming.
Yeah, I know I [A] can't be sweet
[E] But that train keeps a-rolling and that's what torture [A] is
Lock and load, rock and roll
It's good for the soul like the rock and roll
The crowd explodes, the whistle blows
It's just another day, this is how it [D] goes
Fat man Jones in that old school Caddy
Girls used to hate, now they call me [A] daddy
Found me a spot then I rock the shit
I'm on that old K-Rock, found a spot to pimp
[E] Now I'm riding down to Sunset
Looking for a young bitch, looking for a young chick
That can do a [A] tongue trick
Guys that I run with, came from the slums with
Used to be a nobody, now they say I run shit
I [D] grew up on that old school Caddy
[A] Straight ballin' MJD
Real southern boy, I grew up in Tennessee
Three six mafia, they really know me
Everybody knows, barely keeps a G Yeah
Alright
I [G] guess we'll finish that other one [A] now
[C] But [A] if they free me from this prison
And that railroad train was mine
I bet I'd move it on
A little farther down the [D] line
Far from false prism
That's where I [A] wanna stay
And [E] I let that lonesome whistle
Blow my [A] blues away
[Bm] [G] [Bm] [A] [Bm]
[G] [D] [A]
