Folsom Prison Blues Chords by Johnny Cash

[C#] _ _ _ _ _ _ [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.
I'm [B] stuck in Folsom Prison, and time keeps [F#] draggin' on, _ _ _ _
_ but [C#] that train keeps a-rollin' on down to San [F#] 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 [F#] watch him die.
_ _ _ _ When [C#] I hear that whistle _ blowin', I hang my head [F#] and cry.

I bet there's rich folks eatin' in a fancy dinin' car.
They're probably drinkin' coffee and smokin' big cigars.
Well, [B] I know I had it comin', I know I can't [F#] be free.
_ _ _ _ But [C#] those people keep a-movin', and that's what [F#] tortures me.

_ [G#] _ _ [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.
_ And _ _ _ [C#] I'd let that awful whistle _ [F#] blow my blues away.
