[C#] [G#] [F#]
I hear the train a-comin' It's rollin' around the bend
And I ain't seen the sunshine since I don't know when
[B] I'm stuck in Folsom Prison And time keeps [F#] draggin' on
But [C#] that train keeps a-rollin' On down to [F#] San Antone
When I was just a baby My mama told me, son
Always be a good boy, don't ever play with guns
But I [B] shot a man in Reno Just to watch [F#] him die
When [C#] I hear that whistle blowin' I hang my head [F#] and cry
[F#m]

[C#]
[C] [A] [F#]
I bet there's rich folks eatin' in a fancy dinin' car
They're probably drinkin' coffee and smokin' big cigars
[B] Well, I know I had it comin' I know I [F#] can't be free
But [C#] those people keep a-movin' And that's what [F#] tortures me
[F#m] [F#]
[B]
[F#]
[C#]
[C] [G#m] [F#] Well, 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
[B] Far from Folsom Prison That's where I [F#] want to stay
[C#] And I'd let that lonesome whistle [F#] Blow my blues away
[C#] [F#]
