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] .
[C] [D] .
