Hello, I'm Johnny Cash.
[C] [Gm]
[F] I 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 keeps [F] draggin' on
But [C] that train keeps a-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 [A] 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 [Fm] head and cry
[Cm] [Bb]
[Fm]
[C]
[Cm] [F]
I bet there's rich folks eatin'
From a fancy dinin' car
They're probably drinkin' coffee
And smokin' big [Bb] cigars
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] [Fm]
[Bb]
[Fm]
[C]
[G] [F]
if they freed me from this prison
If that railroad train was mine
I bet I'd move it on a little farther down the line
[Bb] Far from Folsom Prison
That's where I want to [Fm] stay
And
[C] I'd let that lonesome whistle
Blow my [F] blues away
[C] [F]
[N]
[C] [Gm]
[F] I hear the train a-comin'
