| [Verse
1] F I hear the train a-coming, it's rolling round the bend F7 and I ain't seen the sunshine since I don't know when A# 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 [Verse 2] F When I was just a baby, my Mama told me 'Son, F7 always be a good boy; don't ever play with guns.' A# F But I shot a man in Reno, just to watch him die C7 F when I hear that whistle blowin' I hang my head and cry [Solo] F | F7 | F | F7 A# | A# | F | F C7| C7| F | [Verse 3] F I bet there's rich folks eatin' in a fancy dining car F7 They're probably drinking coffee and smoking big cigars A# F Well, I know I had it coming, I know I can't be free C7 F But those people keep a moving, and that's what tortures me [Solo] F | F7 | F | F7 A# | A# | F | F C7| C7| F | [Verse 4] F Well, if they freed me from this prison, if that railroad train was mine F7 I bet I'd move it on a little farther down the line A# F Far from Folsom Prison, that's where I want to stay C7 F And I'd let that lonesome whistle blow my blues away |
