[G]
I hear the train a-comin', strollin' round the bend
And I ain't see the sun shinin', I don't know when
[C] I'm suckin' for some prism, and time keeps [G] draggin' on
But that train keeps a-rollin', on down to San Antonio
When I was just a baby, my mama told me some
Always be a good boy, don't ever play with guns
But I [Gm] shot a man in Reno, just to watch [G] him die
And [D] when I [Am] heard his whistle blowin', [G] I hang my head and cry
[Gm]
[E] [G]
[D]
[C#] [E] [Am] [F#] [G]
[D] When [G] I barely reach folks seated in a fancy dining car
They're probably drinkin' coffee and I ain't smokin' big cigars
But [E] I knew I had a command, I know I [G] can be free
But [D] those people keep a-movin', and that's what [A] [G] tortures me
But if they free me from this prison, and the railroad train was mine
They don't move at all, a little further down the line
[E] Far from Folsom Prison, [Gm] that's where I wanna [G] stay
And [Am] I let the lonesome whistle, [G] blow my blues away
[Gm]
