Folsom Prison Blues Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[D]I[A][D]
hear the train a- comin',
it's rolling 'round the bend
And I ain't seen the sunshine
since I don't know when
I'm [G]stuck in Folsom prison,
and time keeps draggin' [D]on
But that [A]train keeps a- rollin'
on down to San Ant[D]one

[Verse 2]
When I was just a baby, [D]my
mama told me, "Son
Always be a good boy,
don't ever play with guns"
But I [G]shot a man in Reno just
to watch him [D]die
When I [A]hear that whistle blowin',
I hang my head and [D]cry[G]
[D]Suey...
[A]

[Verse 3]
[D]
I bet there's rich folks eatin'
in a fancy dining car
They're probably drinkin' coffee
and smoking big cigars
Well, I [G]know I had it coming,
I know I can't be [D]free
But those [A]people keep a- movin',
and that's what tortures [D]me

[Interlude 1]
[G][D]
[A][D]

[Verse 4]
Well, if they freed me from this [D]prison,
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 to [D]stay
And I'd [A]let that lonesome whistle
blow my blues [D]away
[A][D]
