Chords

As recorded by Conway Twitty (From the 1968 Album NEXT IN LINE) [Intro] E [Verse 1]
E
I hear the train a comin'

E
It's rolling round the bend

E
And I ain't seen the sunshine

E
Since I don't know when

    A
I'm stuck in Folsom prison

                        E
And time keeps draggin' on

         B7
But that train keeps a rollin'

                 E
On down to San Antone
[Verse 2]
E
When I was just a baby

E
My mama told me, son

E
Always be a good boy

E
Don't ever play with guns

      A7
But I shot a man in Reno

                  E
Just to watch him die

       B7
When I hear that whistle blowin'

                   E
I hang my head and cry
[Guitar Solo] E A E B7 E [Verse 3]
E
Well, I bet there's rich folks eating

E
In a fancy dining car

E
They're probably drinkin' coffee

E
And smoking big cigars

  A
I guess I had it coming

                  E
I know I can't be free

          B7
But those people keep a movin'

                         E
And that's what tortures me
[Verse 4]
E
Well, if they'd free me from this prison

E
If that railroad train was mine

E
I bet I'd move just a little further

E
Down the line

A
Far from Folsom prison

                       E
That's where I want to stay

        B7
And I'd let that lonesome whistle

               E
Blow my blues away...
[Outro] E B7 E
