Folsom Prison Blues Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[G]Well, I hear the trailer comin'
Rollin' round the bend
I ain't seen the sunshine since
[Gm]I don'[G]t know when
[D]Cause I'm [C]stuck in
Folsom
Prison
And time [D]keeps dragging [G]on
[C]But that [D]train keeps a -rollin'
[C]On down to
San
[G]Antonio[Gm][G]
[D]When [G]I was just a[Gm] baby
Mama told [G]me, [D]alw[G]ays be a good boy
Don't [Gm]never play [G]with [D]guns
They said I [C]shot a man down in
Reno
[D]But that was just [Gm]a lie[D][Gm][G]
[D]When I hear the whistle blowin'
[C]I jus[D]t hang my [Gm]head and cry[G]
[D]I l[G]isten to the guitar go[D][G][C][D][G]
[D][C][G]
I bet there's rich folks eat
[D]in' [G]in a fancy car
[D]They're [Gm]probably drink[G]in' coffee
[D]an [G]d s[Gm]mokin' b[G]ig cigars
But I didn't [C]hurt nobody
I should be [D]rolling [Gm]free, [G]free[D][G]
[D]But those people keep on [C]moving
That's [D]what tortured [Gm]me[G][F][D][G][F]
[D]Well if they fre[G]ed me from the prison
The railroad train was mine,
[D]I b[Gm]et I'd mo[G]ve it on
[D]Just a little far[Gm]ther dow[G]n the lin[F]e,
[G]far from [C]the force of [Gm]prison[G][C]
That's [D]where I wanna [Gm]stay[D][G][Gm][G]
An[D]d I'd let that lonesome whistle
[C]blow [D]my blues [Gm]away[D][G][D][Gm]
[D]So[Gm][D][G][D][Gm][D][Gm][G]
[D][Gm]
[D][Gm][D][Gm][Gm][G][Gm]
