Folsom Prison Blues Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[Dm]

[Verse 1]
I [Dm]hear the train a -comin'
It's rollin' round the bend
I ain't seen the sunshine since,
I don't know when I'm
[G]stuck in Folsom Prison
Time keeps dragging [F]on[Dm]
But that [A]train keeps a -rollin'
On down to [G]San [F]Ant[Dm]one
When I was just a baby,
my momma told me,
Always be a good boy,
don't ever play with guns
But I [G]shot a man in Reno
just to watch [F]him [Dm]die
I [A]hear that whistle blowin'
I hang my [G]head [F]in [Dm]pride[G]
[F][Dm]
[Am][G][F][Dm]
I bet there's rich folks eatin'
in a fancy tiny car
They're [G]probably [Dm]drinkin' coffee
and smokin' big cigars
Well, I [G]know I had it comin'
Well, I know I can't [F]be [Dm]free
But those [Am]people [A]keep a -movin'
And that's what [G]tor[F]tures [Dm]me
I'm a sufficient [G]loser[F][Dm]
[A][Am][G][F]
[Dm]
They freed me from this prison
And if that railroad train was mine
I bet I'd move it on
a little farther down the line
[G]Far from Folsom Prison
That's where I want [F]to [Dm]stay
And I'd [A]let that lonesome whistle
Blow my [G]blues [F]away[Dm]
Hey! False Imprisoned [G]Blues!
[Dm]
[Am][Dm]
[G][F]
[Dm]

[Outro 1]
You
[Dm]
