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