Folsom Prison Blues chords by Johnny Cash (Ver. 2)

Intro: B7  E

   E
I hear the train a comin'
It's rolling round the bend
And I ain't seen the sunshine since
I don't know when
      A
I'm stuck in Folsom prison
                        E
And time keeps draggin' on
          B7
But that train keeps a rollin
                  E
On down to San Anton
     E
When I was just a baby
My mama told me, "Son
Always be a good boy, don't ever play with guns"
       A
But I shot a man in Reno
                   E
Just to watch him die
        B7
When I hear that whistle blowing
                     E
I hang my head and cry

(E  A  E  B7  E)

   E
I bet there's rich folks eating
In a fancy dining car
They're probally drinkin' coffee
And smoking big cigars
        A
Well I know I had it coming
                    E
I know I can't be free
           B7
But those people keep a-movin'
                         E
And that's what tortures me
                 E
Well if they'd free me from this prison
If that railroad train was mine
I bet I'd move it over a little further down the line
A
Far from Folsom prison
                         E
That's where I want to stay
         B7
And I'd let that lonesome whistle
                 E       B7     E
