Verse:
E
I hear that train comin' it's rollin' 'round the bend,
                                    Bm7
I ain't seen the sunshine, since, I don't know when,
         A                                           E A/B E
Well I'm stuck In Folsom Prison, time keeps draggin' on,
A7       B                                   E
But that train keep's rollin' on down to San Antone.

E
Well I was just a baby, my Mama told me son,
                 Em              F#7       G
Always be a good boy, don't ever play with guns,
      A                                     E
But I shot a man in Reno, just to watch him die,
Bm7    B                                            E
Well I hear that whistle blowin' I hang my head and cry.
Intro:

Verse:
E                                
I bet there's rich folk's eatin' some fancy dining car,
                                                G7
Their probably drinkin' coffee, and smokin' big cigars,
      A             E    A7                  E   A
But I know I had it comin' I know I can't be free,
          B                                   Bm7      E
But those people keep on movin' and that what tortures me.

Intro:
Em7 Gmaj7 E A E A/B E7 E B7/D# E


E                       F#7              G7          A
But I move it on little farther down the line, well I, 
         B                                          E
Yeah and I let that lonesome whistle, blow my blues away.

B D B7 E
