Folsom Prison Blues

[Verse 1] - - - I [C] hear the train a-coming, it's rolling round the bend,  and I ain't seen the sunshine since [C7] I don't know whenI'm [F] stuck in Folsom Prison, and time keeps draggin' [C] on, but that [G7] train keeps a-rollin' on down to San [C] Antoine
 
[Verse 2] - - - When I was just a baby, my Mama told me 'Son, always be a good boy; don't ever play with guns.'  But I shot a man in Reno, just to watch him die.  When I hear that whistle blowin' I hang my head and cry.
 
[Verse 3] - - - I bet there's rich folks eatin' in a fancy dining car.   They're probably drinking coffee and smoking big cigars.  Well, I know I had it coming, I know I can't be free, but those people keep a moving, and that's what tortures me

[Verse 4] - - - Well, if they [C] freed me from this prison, if that railroad train was mine;  I bet I'd move it on a little [C7] farther down the line.  [F]  Far from Folsom Prison, that's where I want to [C]  stay - And I'd [G7] let that lonesome whistle blow my blues [C] away
