_ _ _ _ Welcome to Eric Blackmon [C] Music.
_ [Bb] _ _ Hello, [Db] I'm Johnny Cash.
_ _ _ [C] _ _ _ _
_ [F] _ _ [C] I hear the train a comin'
It's rollin' round the bend
And I ain't seen [F] the sunshine
I don't know when [G] I'm sinkin' Folsom Prison Blues
Hi, [E] and welcome to my tutorial on how to play Folsom Prison Blues live by Johnny Cash on bass guitar.
The guitar is tuned standard E, A, [A] D, [D] G.
[G] _
And everything [Ebm] we play is going to be centered around fret 3.
_ We'll start like this.
Fret 3 on the A string to fret 5 on the D string and [C] play. _
_ _ _ _ [G] _ [F] 3 and that is on the D string [C] back to 3 on [F] the A string.
[C] _
_ _ _ So 3, [G] 5, [Cm] 3, 5, [Cm] 3, 3, [F] 3, [C] 3.
And that's our intro. _ _ _
_ [F] _ _ _ _ [N] _ After that, we're going to go into the verses.
And the verses will be played by going to fret 3 on the D string, fret 3 [F] on the A string.
Like this.
_ _ _ _ _ [C] Then we'll go to fret [Gb] 2 on the [E] D string and _ _ go back to 3 [F] on the D string.
So it's like this.
[C] _ _ _ _ _ We'll repeat that. _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [F] _ And then we'll go _ _ _ [Gb] climbing to a B flat.
So we went [E] fret 3 on the D string, [F] _ _ open [G] G, _ _ [A] A, _ B flat.
[Bb] _ And [D] when we get to B flat, we're going to go [Bb] 3, B flat, _ F. _
_ [F] _ _ [Bb] _ _ _ [F] _
[Bb] And then, _ _ _ _ so that was B flat, F, B flat, F, B flat, F, B flat, B flat.
And then [Bb] we'll go back to where we started [F] from.
_ [C] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [F] And then we'll [G] go down to fret [E] 2.
And _ that'll lead us into [C] our last part, which is 3 on the A string [G] to 5. _
[Gb] And we'll play this.
[C] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [G] _ And [F] we'll go back to our groove.
_ _ _ [C] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ So let's play through the entire thing.
Starting with the intro, fret 3 on the A string.
Here we go.
1, 2, 3, 4. _ _
_ [Fm] _ _ _ [F] _ Verse. _
_ _ _ _ [C] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [F] _ _ Walk up.
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [C] _ _ _ _ _ _ [F] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [G] _ _ _ [F] _ _ _ [C] _
_ _ _ And that's the entire thing.
You can play that through the entire tune.
_ _ And that's all there is to it.
That's Folsom Prison Blues by Johnny Cash on bass guitar.
Thanks for stopping by. _
And have a great day.
