Folsom Prison Blues
Johnny Cash
Intro: d d d f# f# b a# g
I G hear the train a-comin'; it's rollin' 'round the bend,
1 3 3 4 5 1 1 3 3 4 5 1
G And I ain't seen the sunshine since I don't know when,
3 3 4 5 1 1 1 3 5 1
I'm C7 stuck at Folsom Prison and time keeps draggin' G on.
But that D7 train keeps a-rollin' on down to San G Antone.
When G I was just a baby, my momma told me, "Son,
Always be a good boy; don't ever play with guns."
But I C7 shot a man in Reno, just to watch him die.
When I hear that whistle blowin', I hang my head and G cry.
Solo: g g# b c# b d b // g g# b c# b d (x2) C7 G D7 G
I G bet there's rich folk eatin' in a fancy dining car.
They're prob'ly drinkin' coffee and smokin' big cigars,
But I C7 know I had it comin', I know I can't be G free,
But those D7 people keep a-movin', and that's what tortures G me.
Solo: g g# b c# b d b // g g# b c# b d (x2) C7 G D7 G
Well if they G freed me from this prison, if that railroad train was mine,
I bet I'd move it all a little farther down the line,
C7 Far from Folsom Prison, that's where I want to G stay,
And I'd let that lonesome D7 whistle blow my blues a-G-way.
