Folsom Prison Blues Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[D]I[G][D][G][D][G][D][G]
[D]hear that train
a comin' it's rollin' round the bend
But I ain't seen the sunshine since
I don't [G]know when
'Cause I'm stuck in Folsom Prison
time keeps draggin' [D]on
But that [A]train keeps a rollin'
on down to San Antone
[D]

[Verse 2]
Well when I was just a baby
my mama told me son
Always be a good boy don't
ever play with guns
[G]But I shot a man in Reno
just to watch him [D]die
And when I [A]hear that whistle blowin' I
hang my head and I [D]cry

[Interlude 1]
[D][G][D]
[A][D]

[Verse 3]
I'll [D]bet there's rich folks eatin'
in some fancy dining car
They're probably drinkin' coffeee and
smokin' big cigar[G]s
Well I know I had it comin' and I
know I can't be [D]free
But those [A]people keep a movin'
and that's what tortures [D]me

[Verse 4]
Well if they [D]freed me from this prison if
that railroad train was mine
I'll bet I'd move it on a little
farther down [Dm]the line
[G]Far from Folsom Prison that's
where I want [D]to stay
Then I'd let [A]that lonesome

[Outro 1]
whistle blow my blues away
[D]
