Chords for Johnny Cash - Folsom Prison Blues (Live in Denmark) (Official Audio)

_ _ [C] _ _ _ _ _ _
[F] _ _ _ I hear the train a-comin', it's rollin' round the bend, and I ain't seen the sunshine since [Fm] I don't know [Bb] when.
I'm stuck in Folsom Prison, [F] and time keeps draggin' on, _ _ _ _ but [C] that train keeps rollin' on down to [F] San Antonio.
_ _ 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 [F] to watch him die. _
_ Yeah, to watch him [C] die.
Hear that whistle _ blowin', I hang my head and [Fm] cry.
The Tennessee Three!
_ Yes, I! _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [Bb] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [F] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [Bb] _ [C] _ _ _ _ _
_ [Ab] _ _ [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 can't [F] be free. _ _ _ _ _
[B] [C] But those people keep a-movin', and that's what [F] tortures me.
Well, 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.
[Bb] Far from Folsom Prison, that's where I want [F] to stay. _ _ _ _
[C] And I'd let that lonesome whistle _ [Gm] blow my [Ab] blues [F] away.
_ _ _ _ [C] _
_ _ [F] _ _ _ _ _ _
Yeah!
_ _ [Eb] _ Thank you very much.
_ [N] _ _ _ _ _ We did concerts.
Thank you.
We did concerts at Folsom Prison, California, at San Quentin Prison, California,
in hopes that we might call attention to a lot of the problems in the prison system.
And with us on all of those tours was a little lady that made the day a whole lot brighter for us.
