[Start]

[Verse]
C7 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
Bb                                        F          
I'm stuck in Folsom prison and time keeps draggin' on
C7                                            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
Bb                                     F      
But I shot a man in Reno just to watch him die
C                                               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
Bb                                         F      
Well I know I had it coming I know I can't be free
C                               C7
But those people keep on movin' ■ 
                F          
And that's what tortures me

[Chorus]
        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
Bb                                         F      
Far from Folsom prison that's where I want to stay
C7                                              C    F C7 F
And I'd let that lonesome whistle blow my blues away ■ ■  ■
