Folsom Prison Blues (Live) Johnny Cash Album: At Folsom Prison Capo on 1st fret intro: |------------------------| |--------0--0--0----0----| |------------------------| |-------1--1-------------| |-2-2-2-------2----------| |----------------2b3---0-| E I hear the train a comin' E It's rollin' 'round the bend, E And I ain't seen the sunshine, E Since, I don't know when, A I'm stuck in Folsom Prison, E And time keeps draggin' on, B But that train keeps a-rollin', A E On down to San Antone. E When I was just a baby, E My Mama told me, "Son, E Always be a good boy, E Don't ever play with guns," A But I shot a man in Reno, E Just to watch him die, B When I hear that whistle blowin', A E I hang my head and cry.
