[Intro]
E7
[Verse 1]
E7 I hear that train a comin' rollin' around the bend E7 I ain't seen the sunshine since I don't know when A7 E7 I'm stuck in Folsom Prison and time keeps draggin' on B7 E7 And that train keeps a movin' on down to San Antone
[Verse 2]
E7 When I was a baby my mama told me son E7 Always be a good boy don't ever play with guns A7 E7 But I shot a cat in Reno just to watch him die B7 E7 Yeah I know I had it comin' I hang my head and cry
[Dobro & Harmonica Solo]
E7 A7 E7 B7
E7
[Verse 3]
E7 I bet there's rich folks eatin' in a fancy dining car E7 Prob'ly drinkin' coffeee and smokin' big cigars A7 E7 Well I'm stuck in Folsom Prison that's where I'll always be B7 E7 And them people keep a movin' and that's what tortures me
[Verse 4]
E7 Yeah if they freed me from this prison and that railroad train was mine E7 I bet I'd move it on a little farther down the line A7 E7 Far from Folsom Prison that's where I long to stay B7 E7 Yeah I'd let that lonesome whistle blow my blues away
[Outro]
