[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]
