[Verse]
C# F#                                                      
■  ■  I hear the train a comin' it's rolling round the bend
F#                                                   
And I ain't seen the sunshine since I don't know when
B                                         F#         
I'm stuck in Folsom prison and time keeps draggin' on
C#                                            F#    
But that train keeps a rollin' on down to San Antone
F#                                        
When I was just a baby my mama told me son
                     F#                       
Always be a good boy don't ever play with guns
B                                      F#     
But I shot a man in Reno just to watch him die
C#7                                             F#     
When I hear that whistle blowin' I hang my head and cry

[Verse]
                                   F#                
I bet there's rich folks eating in a fancy dining car
F#                                                     
They're probably drinkin' coffee and smoking big cigars
B                                          F#     
Well I know I had it coming I know I can't be free
C#7                            
But those people keep on movin'
                F#         
And that's what tortures me

[Verse]
        F#                            
Well if they freed me from this prison
   F#                          
If that railroad train was mine
                       F#                          
I bet I'd move it on a little farther down the line
B                                          F#     
Far from Folsom prison that's where I want to stay
                 C#                    F#            C# C#7 F#
And I'd let that lonesome whistle blow my blues away ■  ■   ■
