Folsom Prison Blues Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[C][F]
[Fm]I hear

[Verse 1]
the [F]train a -comin',
[Fm]it's rollin' round the [F]bend
[Fm]I ai[F]n't seen the sun s[Fm]hine since I don't
know when [F]I'm [Bb]stuck in Folsom Prison,
and time keeps draggin' [Fm]on[F]
[Fm]That [C]train keeps a -movin' on
[Bb]down to San Antone[F]
When I was just a baby,
[Fm]my m[F]ama told me, son
Always be a good boy,
don't [Fm]ever play with guns
But I [Bb]shot a man in Reno,
just to watch him [Fm]die[F]
When I [C]hear that whistle blowin'
I [Bb]hang my head and [F]cry
[Bb]
[F][C][Bb]
[F]
[Fm]I be[F]t the rich folks eatin'
in a fancy dinin' car
They're probably drinkin' [Fm]coffee
and smokin' big cigars
But I [Bb]know I had it comin',
I know I can't be [Fm]free[F]
[Fm]Those [C]people keep a -movin'
[Bb]an d that's what tortures me[Fm]
[F]
[Bb]
[F][C][Bb]
[F]
Well, it's eight feet from this prison,
if that [Fm]railroad train was mine
I bet I'd move it all a little
farther down the [F]line
[Fm]Far, [Bb]far from Folsom Prison,
that's where I long to [F]stay[Fm]
[F]I l[Fm]et th[C]at lonesome whistle blow[Bb] my blues away[Fm]
[F][Fm][F][Eb][F]
[Bb]
[F][C][Bb]
[F][C][E][C][Fm]

[Outro 1]
You
[Fm]
