Folsom Prison Blues Chords

Standard (EADGBE)

Intro

I hEear the train a comin', it's rolling round the bend

And IE ain't seen the sunshine since I don't know E7when,

I'm Astuck in Folsom prison, and time keeps draggin'E on

But B7that train keeps a rollin' on down to San AntEone..

When EI was just a baby my mama told me. Son,

AlEways be a good boy, don't ever play with E7guns.

But IA shot a man in Reno just to watch him Edie

When IB7 hear that whistle blowing, I hang my head and Ecry..

I beEt there's rich folks eating in a fancy dining car

They'reE probably drinkin' whiskey and smoking big cE7igars.

Well I Aknow I had it coming, I know I can't be Efree

But thosB7e people keep a movin' and that's what torturesE me...

Well Eif they freed me from this prison, If that railroad train was mine

I betE I'd move it on a little farther down the lE7ine

Far Afrom Folsom prison, that's where I want to Estay

And B7I'd let that lonesome whistle blow my blues Eaway.....
