Johnny Cash - Folsom Prison Blues (bass cover by Harry) chords
Start Jamming...
Hello, I'm Johnny Cash.
Cash!
[C] [F]
I hear the train a-comin'
It's rollin' round the bend
And I ain't seen the sunshine since
I don't know when
I'm stuck [Bb] in Folsom Prison
And time keeps [F] draggin' on
[C] But that train keeps rollin'
On down to [F] San An
I was just a baby
My mama told me, son
Always be a good boy
Don't ever play with guns
But I [Bb] shot a man in [F] Reno
Just to watch him die
But [A] [C] I hear that whistle blowin'
In my [F] head
[Ab] [Cm]
[Bb]
[Fm] [B]
[C] [Cm]
[F] I've been to rich folks eatin'
From fancy dinin' cars
They're probably drinkin' coffee
And smokin' big [Bbm] cigars
[Bb] Well, I know I had it comin'
I [F] know I can't be free
[C] But those people keep a-movin'
And that's what [E] soldiers [F] be
[Fm]
Well, [Ab]
[Bb]
[F]
[G] [C]
[G] [F]
if they'd free me from this prison
If that railroad train was mine
I bet I'd move it all a little farther down the [Bb] line
Far from Folsom Prison
That's where I [F] want to stay
[C] And I'd let that lonesome whistle
Blow my blues [F] away
[C] [F]
[Db]
[Eb]
