Here's somebody else's great.
This is my my friends [Bm] of the road and home and
everywhere for about 25 [N] years.
This is truly a legend in his own time.
This is Johnny Cash.
I hear
[F#]
[B] [G] [E]
the train a-comin' it's rollin' around the bend and I ain't seen the sunshine since.
I don't know when [A] I'm stuck in
that fulsome prison and time keeps dragging [Em] on.
[E] But [B] this rain keeps rollin' all down the [E] San Antonio.
When I was just a baby my mama told me son
always be a good boy don't ever play with guns [A] but I shot a man in Reno just to
watch [E] him die.
When [B] I hear that whistle blowin' I hang my [E] head right.
[Em] [E]
[A]
[E]
[B]
[E] I bet there's rich folks eatin' in a fancy dining car.
They're probably
drinking coffee and smoking big cigars.
Well [A] I know I had it comin'.
I know I can't be [E]
free.
But [B] those people keep a-movin' and that's what's up here.
[E]
[A]

[B]
[E]
Well if they'd free me from this prison if that railroad train was mine then I'd move it on a little [Em] farther down the line.
[A] Far from fulsome prison that's where I want to [E] stay.
[B] And I'd let that lonesome whistle blow my blues [E] away.

[Em] [N]
