Folsom Prison Blues Live chords by Johnny Cash

Verse 1:
  B
I hear the train a-coming, it's rolling round the bend
                                   B7
and I ain't seen the sunshine since I don't know when
    B                                               B
I'm stuck in Folsom Prison, and time keeps draggin' on
         C7                                     B
But that train keeps a-rollin' on down to San Antone


Verse 2:
     B
When I was just a baby, my Mama told me 'Son,
                            B7
always be a good boy; don't ever play with guns.'
      B                                     B
But I shot a man in Reno, just to watch him die
       C7                                           B
when I hear that whistle blowin' I hang my head and cry

Solo:
B | B7 | B | B7
B | B | B | B
C7| C7| B |


Verse 3:
  B
I bet there's rich folks eatin' in a fancy dining car
                                     B7
They're probably drinking coffee and smoking big cigars
        B                                       B
Well, I know I had it coming, I know I can't be free
          C7                                             B
But those people keep a moving, and that's what tortures me


Solo:
B | B7 | B | B7
B | B | B | B
C7| C7| B |


Verse 4:
              B
Well, if they freed me from this prison, if that railroad train was mine
                              B7
I bet I'd move it on a little farther down the line
B                                              B
Far from Folsom Prison, that's where I want to stay
        C7                                       B
And I'd let that lonesome whistle blow my blues away
