Folsom Prison Blues

[Intro] B7  E

[First Part]

   E
I hear the train a comin'´

It's rollin' 'round the bend

And I ain't seen the sunshine

Since I don't know when
      A
I'm stuck at Eolsom Prison
                        E
And time keeps draggin' on
           B7
But that train keeps a rollin'
                  E
On down to San Antone

[Second Part]

     E
When I was just a baby

My mama told me  "Son

Continues after the ad
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 blowin'
                     E
I hang my head and cry

( E  A  E  B7  E )

[Third Part]

   E
I bet there's rich folk eatin'

In a fancy dining car

They're prob'ly drinkin'

Coffee and smokin' big cigars
       A
But I know I had it comin'
                    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 freed me from this 
prison

If that railroad train was mine

I bet I'd move on a little

Farther down the line
 A
Far from Eolsom Prison
                         E
That's where I want to stay
        B7
And I'd let that lonesome whistle
                E
Blow my blues away

( B7  E )
