Folsom Prison Blues 
                     Johnny Cash
 
  G
I hear the train a comin' it's rollin 'round the bend
                                    G7 
and I ain't seen the sunshine since I don't know when
    C                                               G
I'm stuck in Folsom Prison, and time keeps draggin' on.
    D                  C                        G
But that train keeps a movin' on down to San An-tone



     G
When I was just a baby my mame told me, "Son
                            G7
Always be a good boy, don't ever play with guns"
    C                                       G
But I shot a man in Reno, just to watch him die
     D                  C                          G
When I hear the whistle blowin' I hang my head and cry.



  G
I bet there's rich folk eatin'in a fancy dining car.
                                            G7
They're prob'ly drinkin' coffee and smokin' big cigars,
    C                                         G
But I know I had it comin', I know I can't be free,
    D                   C                                G
But those people keep a-movin', and that's what tortures me.



      G               
Well, if they freed me from this prison, if that railroad train was mine
                               G7    
I bet I'd move it all a little farther down the line
    C                                          G
Far from Folsom Prison, that's where I want to stay
    D                     C                       G
And I'd let that lonesome whistle, blow my blues away
