[Verse 1]

E

I hear the train a-coming, it's rolling round the bend

E7

and I ain't seen the sunshine since I don't know when

A E

I'm stuck in Folsom Prison, and time keeps draggin' on

B7 E

But that train keeps a-rollin' on down to San Antone

[Verse 2]

E

When I was just a baby, my Mama told me 'Son,

E7

always be a good boy; don't ever play with guns.'

A E

But I shot a man in Reno, just to watch him die

B7 E

when I hear that whistle blowin' I hang my head and cry

E | E7 | E | E7

A | A | E | E

[Verse 3]

E

I bet there's rich folks eatin' in a fancy dining car

E7

They're probably drinking coffee and smoking big cigars

A E

Well, I know I had it coming, I know I can't be free

B7 E

But those people keep a moving, and that's what tortures me

E | E7 | E | E7

A | A | E | E

[Verse 4]

E

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

E7

I bet I'd move it on a little farther down the line

A E

Far from Folsom Prison, that's where I want to stay

B7 E

And I'd let that lonesome whistle blow my blues away
