Verse 1: E MajorE I hear the train a-coming, it's rolling round the bend E7E7 and I ain't seen the sunshine since I don't know when A augmentedA E MajorE I'm stuck at Folsom Prison, and time keeps draggin' on B7B7 E MajorE But that train keeps a-rollin' on down to San Antone Verse 2: E MajorE When I was just a baby, my Mama told me 'Son, E7E7 always be a good boy; don't ever play with guns.' A augmentedA E MajorE But I shot a man in Reno, just to watch him die B7B7 E MajorE when I hear that whistle blowin' I hang my head and cry Solo: E MajorE | E MajorE | E MajorE | E MajorE A augmentedA | A augmentedA | E MajorE | E MajorE B7B7| B7B7| E MajorE | Verse 3: E MajorE I bet there's rich folks eatin' in a fancy dining car E7E7 They're probably drinking coffee and smoking big cigars A augmentedA E MajorE But I know I had it coming, I know I can't be free B7B7 E MajorE But those people keep a moving, and that's what tortures me Solo: E MajorE | E MajorE | E MajorE | E MajorE A augmentedA | A augmentedA | E MajorE | E MajorE B7B7| B7B7| E MajorE | Verse 4: E MajorE Well, if they freed me from this prison, if that railroad train was mine E7E7 I bet I'd move it on a little farther down the line A augmentedA E MajorE Far from Folsom Prison, that's where I want to stay B7B7 E MajorE And I'd let that lonesome whistle blow my blues away
