Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
I [C]hear [F]the train a -comin',
it's rollin' around the bend
And I ain't [E]seen the sunshine since,
I don't know when [F]I'm
[Bb]stuck in [A]Folsom prison
and time keeps dragging [E]on[F]
But that [C]train keeps rollin' on
down to San Ant[E]on
[F]When I was just a baby
my mama told me son
Always be a good boy.
Don't [C]ever [F]play with [C]guns,
[F]but I [Bb]shot a man in [A]Reno
Just to watch [E]him [F]die
When I [C]hear that whistle blowin'
I hang my head and [F]cry[Bb]
[F][C]
[F]
I bet there's rich folks eatin'
in a fancy dinin' car
They're probably drinkin' coffee
and smokin' big cigars
Well, I know [Bb]I had it comin'
I know I can't be [F]free
But those [C]people keep a -movin'
And that's what tortures
[F]mean[Bb][F]
[C][F]
Well, if they freed me from this prison,
if that railroad train was mine,
I bet I'd move it on a little
farther down the line,
far from [Bb]Folsom Prison,
that's where I want to [E]stay.[F]
And I'd [C]let that lonesome whistle
[C]Blow my blues [F]away
[C][F]
