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
I'm stuck in [Bb] Folsom Prison
And time keeps [F] draggin' on
[C] But 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
But I shot a [Bb] man in Reno
[F] Just to watch him die
But [G] I hear that whistle [C] blowin'
I hang my [F] head and cry
[Fm]
[Cm] [Bb]
[Fm] I [C]
[Cm] [F]
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 [F] I can't be free
But [C] those people keep a-movin'
And that's what [F] soldiers be
[Fm] Well, [Cm] [Ab]
[F] [Bb]
[F]
[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 [F] where I want to stay
And [C] I'd let that lonesome whistle
Blow my [F] blues away
[C] I [F]
[Eb] [Db]
[Bb]
hear the [C] train [Fm] a-comin'
[Bb] It's [C] rollin' [Fm] round the bend
[Ab] [Bb] And I ain't been kissed, [C]
Lord
[Bb] Since I don't know [B] when
[Eb] [Bbm] The boys in Crescent City
[G] Don't seem to know [Bb]
I'm here
That [Bm]
[Eb] lonesome whistle seems to tell [E]
me [Ebm] Sue [Bb] disappeared
When [F]
[Bb] I was just a baby
[Cm] [Bb] My mama told me, Sue
[Ab] [Bb] When you're grown up
I want that [D] you should go and see [Bb] and do
[Bbm] But I'm stuck in Crescent City
Just watchin' [Bb] live mosey by
[Ab] When
[Eb] I hear that [C] whistle [Gm]
blowin'
Ooh, [C] I [Db] hang my [Bb] head and cry
[Ebm] I [Bb] [D] [F]
[Bb] see the rich folks eatin'
[Bb] In that fancy dinin' car
[G] [Bb] They're probably havin' pheasant breast
[B] And eastern [Bb] caviar
[Eb] Now, I ain't cryin' envy
[Ebm] And I ain't [Bb] [Gm] cryin' mean
[Ab]
[G] [Cm] It's just that they get to see [A]
[F] things
[Eb] That [Bb] I've [Gm] never [Cm] seen
[Db] [Bb] That [Fm] [F] [Cm]
[Gm] lonesome whistle
The road train was mine
Bet I'd find a man a little [Bb] far down the [D] line
[Eb]
Far from [Bbm] Crescent City
Is where I'd [Bb] like to stay
And [D] [G] [Cm] I'd let that lonesome whistle
Blow my [Db] blues away
[Ab]
[G] And I'd [Gm] let that [Bbm] lonesome [Cm]
[Gm] whistle
Blow [Fm] my blues [Db] away
[C] [Gm] [Db] [F] [N]
