G|-------------------------Verse:
C I hear the train a comin’ it’s rolling round the bend
And I ain’t seen the sunshine since C7 I don’t know when
I’m F stuck in Folsom prison and time keeps draggin’ C on
But that G7 train keeps a rollin’ on down to San An C tone
Verse:
When C I was just a baby my mama told me son
Always be a good boy don’t you C7 ever play with guns
But I F shot a man in Reno just to watch him C die
When I G7 hear that whistle blowin'
I hang my head and C cry

Verse:
I C bet there’s rich folks eating in a fancy dining car
They’re probably drinkin’ coffee and C7 smoking big cigars
Well I F know I had it coming I know I can’t be C free
But those G7 people keep a movin’
And that’s what tortures C me
Instrumental:

Verse:
C Well if they’d free me from this prison
If that railroad train was mine
I bet I’d move it all a little C7 further 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 a C way
