I hear the train a-comin', it's rollin' round the bend, and I ain't seen the sunshine since,
I don't know [G#] when, [B] I'm stuck in Folsom Prison, and time keeps [F#] draggin' on. _ _ _ _
[C#] But that train
keeps rollin' on down to [F#] Santa Ansel.
_ _ When I was just a baby, my mama told [G#] me, son,
always be a good boy, don't ever play with guns.
[Bm] But I shot a man in Reno, just to [F#] watch
him die. _
_ _ _ When [C#] I hear that whistle _ blowin', I hang my head [F#] and cry. _
[D] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _

[C#] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[F#] _ _ _ I bet there's rich folks eatin' in a fancy dinin' car, they're probably drinkin' coffee
and [G] smokin' big cigars.
Well I know I had it comin', I know I [F#] can't be free. _
_ _ _ But [C#] those people keep a-movin', and that sword torch [F#] sure stays. _
[D] _ _ [F#] _ _ _ _ _ _

[C#] _ _ _ _ _ _ [C] _ [G#] _
[F#] _ _ Well if they freed me from this prison, if that railroad train was mine, then I'd move
it on a little farther down the line.
[Bm] Far from Folsom Prison, that's where [F#] I want to
stay. _
_ _ _ [C#] And I'd let that lonesome whistle blow my [F#] blues away.
