Verse:
E MajorE
I hear that train comin' it's rollin' 'round the bend,
                                    Bm7Bm7
I ain't seen the sunshine, since, I don't know when,
         A augmentedA                                           E MajorE A/BA/B E MajorE
Well I'm stuck In Folsom Prison, time keeps draggin' on,
A7A7       BB                                   E MajorE
But that train keep's rollin' on down to San Antone.

E MajorE
Well I was just a baby, my Mama told me son,
                 E minorEm              F#7F#7       G+G
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,
Bm7Bm7    BB                                            E MajorE
Well I hear that whistle blowin' I hang my head and cry.

Verse:
E MajorE
I bet there's rich folk's eatin' some fancy dining car,
                                                G7G7
Their probably drinkin' coffee, and smokin' big cigars,
      A augmentedA             E MajorE    A7A7                  E MajorE   A augmentedA
But I know I had it comin' I know I can't be free,
          BB                                   Bm7Bm7      E MajorE
But those people keep on movin' and that what tortures me.

But I move it on little farther down the line, well I,
         BB                                          E MajorE
Yeah and I let that lonesome whistle, blow my blues away.
