Chords for Merle Haggard - Folsom Prison Blues (Live at Farm Aid 1985)

[E] _ _ _ _ I hear that train a-comin', comin' around the bend.
_ Ain't seen the sunshine since I don't know when.
Man, [A] I'm stuck, bolts of frizzle, _ time keeps [E] draggin' on. _
_ _ _ _ [B] And I hear that train a-rollin' on [A] down to the [Eb] side [E] of the road. _ _
_ _ _ _ When I was just a baby, my mama told me, son,
Always be a good boy and don't you ever play with guns.
[A] But I shot a man in Reno, _ just [E] watch him die. _
_ _ _ _ [B] And I hear that train a-rollin', I hang my head and [E] I cry. _

There's probably rich folks dinin' in a fancy dinin' car.
Probably drinkin' that coffee and smokin' them big [A] cigars.
But I know I've had it comin', I know I can't [E] be free.

[B] And I hear that train a _ -rollin', [Eb] that's what [E] tortures me.
And also [A] tortures plants wrong.
