F#                 C#
Five more miles to Folsom.
     F#                   C# 
This train can't move too slow.
F#                   C#
Ninety-nine years at Folsom.
G#                  C#
Then they'll let me go.

G#            C#
Shot a man in Dallas.
G#                C#
He made a fool of me.
G#                 C#
Thought they never catch me.
    G#                C#
How wrong can one guy be.

Chorus
Let my love at the station.
Cryin' in the rain.
Broke her heart at the station.
'Cause I couldn't explain.

Chorus

Sit and stare out my window.
At someone else's moon.
And ask why was I born.
Ninety-nine years too soon
