Folsom Prison Blues Chords & Lyrics by Johnny Cash
Folsom Prison Blues
guitar chords lyrics
Capo 1st fret
Intro:
| B7 | B7 | E | E |
E
I hear the train a-comin';
It's rollin' 'round the bend,
And I ain't seen the sunshine since
I don't know when.
A
I'm stuck at Folsom Prison
E
And time keeps draggin' on,
B7
But that train keeps rollin'
E
On down to San An-tone.
E
When I was just a baby,
My momma told me, "Son,
always be a good;
Don't ever play with guns."
A
But I shot a man in Reno
E
Just to watch him die.
B7
When I hear that whistle blowin'
E
I hang my head and cry.
E
I bet there's rich folks eatin'
From a fancy dining car.
They're prob'ly drinkin' coffee
and smokin' big cigars.
A
Well, I know I had it comin',
E
I know I can't be free.
B7
But those people keep a-movin'
E
And that's what tortures me.
E
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,
A
Far from Folsom Prison,
E
That's where I want to stay.
B7
And I'd let that lonesome whistle
E
Blow my blues a-way.
