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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

C# | C#7 | C# | C#7

F# | F# | C# | C#

G#7| G#7| C# |

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

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

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

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

C# | C#7 | C# | C#7

F# | F# | C# | C#

G#7| G#7| C# |

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

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

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

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