Folsom Prison Blues1 chords by Johnny Cash

Chords with lyrics

C majorC
 I hear the train a coming it's rolling round the bend

                       C7C7
 And I ain't seen the sunshine since I don't know when

   FF                    C majorC
 I'm stuck at Folsom Prison and time keeps dragging on

      G7G7               C majorC
 But that train keeps rolling on down to San Antone



 When I was just a baby my mama told me Son

                   C7C7
 Always be a good boy don't ever play with guns

    FF               C majorC
 But I shot a man in Reno just to watch him die

     G7G7                   C majorC
 When I hear that whistle blowing I hang my head and cry

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

                       C7C7
 They're probably drinking coffee and smoking big cigars

    FF                  C majorC
 But I know I had it coming I know I can't be free

    G7G7                      C majorC
 But those people keep a moving and that's what tortures me



 Well if they freed me from this prison if that railroad train was mine

                       C7C7
 I bet I'd move on over a little farther down the line

   FF                   C majorC
 Far from Folsom Prison that's where I want to stay

      G7G7                  C majorC
