_ 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 keeps F draggin' on _ _ _ .
_ _ C But that 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 C guns.
But Bb I shot a man in Reno.
Just F to watch him die.
When _ _ C I hear that whistle blowin'.
I hang my head Fm and cry _ _ _ _ _ _ _ .
_ _ _ Cm _ _ _ _ _ .
_ _ Bb _ _ _ _ _ _ .
_ Fm _ _ _ _ _ _ _ .
C _ _ _ _ _ _ Cm _ _ .
_ F _ _ _ I bet 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 F tortures me.
_ Fm Well,.
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ .
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ Bb _ .
_ _ _ _ _ _ Fm _ _ .
_ _ _ _ _ _ C _ _ .
_ _ _ G _ _ F _ _ _ .
if they'd 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 F want to stay.
And _ _ _ C.
I'd let that lonesome whistle.
Blow my F blues away.
_ C _ _ _ _ _ F _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ .
_ N _ _ C _ _ _ _ _ .
_ D _ _ _ _ _ C _ _ .
_ _ _ D _ _ _ _ _ .
