F#I hear the train a-coming, it's rolling round the bend

F#7and I ain't seen the sunshine since I don't know when

B F#I'm stuck in Folsom Prison, and time keeps draggin' on

C#7 F#But that train keeps a-rollin' on down to San Antone

F#When I was just a baby, my Mama told me 'Son,

F#7always be a good boy; don't ever play with guns.'

B F#But I shot a man in Reno, just to watch him die

C#7 F#when I hear that whistle blowin' I hang my head and cry

F# | F#7 | F# | F#7

B | B | F# | F#

C#7| C#7| F# |

F#I bet there's rich folks eatin' in a fancy dining car

F#7They're probably drinking coffee and smoking big cigars

B F#Well, I know I had it coming, I know I can't be free

C#7 F#But those people keep a moving, and that's what tortures me

F# | F#7 | F# | F#7

B | B | F# | F#

C#7| C#7| F# |

F#Well, if they freed me from this prison, if that railroad train was mine

F#7I bet I'd move it on a little farther down the line

B F#Far from Folsom Prison, that's where I want to stay

C#7 F#And I'd let that lonesome whistle blow my blues away
