Folsom Prison Blues chords Johnny Cash Capo I e|------------------|(count from capo) B|------------------| G|------------------| D|-------1-1--------| A|-2-2-2-----2------| E|-------------B3-0-| *B = bend string

I ^Ehear the train a comin' It's rollin' 'round the bend,

And I ain't seen the sunshine, Since, I don't know when,

I'm ^Astuck in Folsom Prison, And time keeps draggin' ^Eon, But that ^B7train keeps a-rollin', On down to San An^Etone.

When ^EI was just a baby, My Mama told me, "Son,

Always be a good boy, Don't ever play with guns,"

But I ^Ashot a man in Reno, Just to watch him ^Edie, When I ^B7hear that whistle blowin', I hang my head and ^Ecry.

I ^Ebet there's rich folks eatin', In a fancy dining car,

They're probably drinkin' coffee, And smokin' big cigars,

But I ^Aknow I had it comin', I know I can't be ^Efree, But those ^B7people keep a-movin', And that's what tortures ^Eme.

Well, ^Eif they freed me from this prison, If that railroad train was mine,

I bet I'd move out over a little, Farther down the line,

^AFar from Folsom Prison, That's where I want to ^Estay, And I'd ^B7let that lonesome whistle, Blow my Blues a^Eway.
