FOLSOM PRISON BLUES CHORDS
[Start] [Verse] C7 Hello I'm Johnny Cash ■ F7 ■ I hear the train acomin' F7 It's rollin' 'round the bend F7 And I ain't seen the sunshine F7 Since I don't know when Bb I'm stuck in Folsom Prison F7 And time keeps draggin' on C7 But that train keeps arollin' F On down to San Antone F When I was just a baby F My mama told me Son F Always be a good boy F Don't ever play with guns F7 Bb But I shot a man in Reno F7 Just to watch him die [Inst] C7 When I hear that whistle blowin' F7 I hang my head and cry Bb F7 C7 F7 ■ ■ Suey ■ ■ I bet there's rich folks eatin' [Verse] F7 From a fancy dining car F They're probably drinking coffee F And smoking big cigars Bb Well I know I had it comin' F7 I know I can't be free [Inst] C7 But those people keep amovin' F7 And that's what tortures me Bb7 F7 C7 F7 ■ ■ ■ ■ [Verse] F7 Well if they freed me from this prison F7 If that railroad train was mine F7 I bet I'd move it on a little F7 Farther down the line F7 Far from Folsom Prison F7 That's where I want to stay C7 And I'd let that lonesome whistle F7 Blow my blues away C7 F7 Yeah ■ ■ [Chorus]
