Hello, I'm Johnny Cash.
[C] [G] [F]
hear the train a-comin'
rollin' round the bend
I don't know when
And time [F] keeps draggin' on
But that [C] train keeps rollin'
On down to San [F] Antonio
[C] [G] [F]
hear the train a-comin'
rollin' round the bend
I don't know when
And time [F] keeps draggin' on
But that [C] train keeps rollin'
On down to San [F] Antonio

Hello, I'm Johnny Cash.
_ I _
_ _ [C] _ _ _ _ [G] _ [F] _
_ _ _ hear the train a-comin'
It's rollin' round the bend
And I ain't seen the sunshine since
I don't know when
[Bb] I'm stuck in Folsom Prison
And time [F] keeps draggin' on _ _
_ _ But that [C] train keeps rollin'
On down to San [F] 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 to watch [F] him die
_ When _ _ [C] I hear that whistle blowin'
I hang my head [F] and cry
_ [Fm] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [Cm] _ _ _ [Ab] _ [F] _
_ _ [Bb] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [Fm] _ _ _ I've _
_ _ [C] _ _ _ _ _ [Cm] _
_ _ [F] _ _ _ been to those rich folks
Eatin' from a fancy dinin' car
They're probably drinkin' coffee
And smokin' big cigars
[Bb] Well, I know I had it comin'
I know I [F] can't be free
But _ _ _ [C] those people keep a-movin'
And that's what [E] [F] tortures me
[Fm] Well, _ _ _ _ [Ab] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[Bb] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ [F] _
_ [Fm] _ _ _ _ _ _ [C] _
_ _ _ _ _ [G] _ _ [F] _
_ _ if they freed me from this prison
If that railroad train was mine
I bet I'd move it all a little farther down the line
[Bb] Far from Folsom Prison
That's where I want [F] to stay
And _
_ [C] I'd let that lonesome whistle
Blow my [F] blues away
_ _ [C] _ _ _ _ _ [F] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ I _
_ _ [C] _ _ _ _ [G] _ [F] _
