Folsom Prison Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
I [D]hear [G]that train a -comin',
it's rollin' round the bend
And I ain't seen the sunshine
since I don't know when
Well, I'm [C]stuck in Folsom Prison,
and time keeps draggin' [G]on
And that [D]train keeps a -rollin' on
down to San Ant[G]one
When I was just a baby,
my daddy told me,
Always be a good boy,
don't ever play with guns
But I [C]shot a man in Reno,
just to watch him [G]die
When [D]I hear that lonesome whistle,
I hang my head and [G]cry[C]
[G][D]
[G]
Well, I'll bet there's rich folks eatin'
on some fancy dinin' car
They're probably drinkin' coffee
and smokin' big cigars
Well, I [C]know I had it coming,
I know I can't be [G]free
But those [D]people keep a -moving,
and that's what tortures [G]me[C]
[G][D]
[G]
Well, if they freed me from this prison,
if that railroad train was mine,
I bet I'd move it over a little
farther down the line,
far [C]from Folsom Prison,
that's where I'd want to [G]stay.
Yeah, and I'd [D]let that lonesome whistle

[Outro 1]
blow my blues away
[G][D][G]
