Johnny Cash – Folsom Prison Blues (Guitar)

E
I hear the train a comin' It's rollin' 'round the bend

E
And I ain't seen the sunshine Since I don't know when

    A                                              E7 E E7
I'm stuck in Folsom Prison And time keeps draggin' on

         B7                                     A  A7 E
But that train keeps a-rollin' on down to San Antone

E
When I was just a baby My Mama told me Son

E
Always be a good boy  Don't ever play with guns

      A                                     E  E7 E E7
But I shot a man in Reno Just to watch him die

       B7                                           A  A7 E
When I hear that whistle blowin' I hang my head and cry

E
I bet there's rich folks eatin' In some fancy dining car

E
They're probably drinkin' coffee  And smokin' big cigars

      A                                        E  E7 E E7
But I know I had it comin'  I know I can't be free

          B7                                            A  A7 E
But those people keep a-movin' And that's what tortures me

E
Well if they freed me from this prison  If that railroad train was mine

E
I bet I'd have it moved a little  Further down the line

         A                                         E  E7 E E7
Far away from Folsom Prison That's where I want to stay

        B7                                       A  A7 E
And I'd let that lonesome whistle  Blow my blues away

E  E7 E E7 B7 A A7 E A E B7 E
fade out
