INTRO: [*R1]
VERSE 1:
I
[F] hear the train a-coming; it's rolling 'round the bend
And
[F] I ain't seen the sunshine since I don't know when
I'm
[Bb] stuck at Folsom Prison and time keeps dragging
[F] on
But that
[C] train keeps a-rolling on down to San An-
[F]-tone
VERSE 2:
When
[F] I was just a baby, my momma told me Son
[F] Always be a good boy; don't ever play with guns
But I
[Bb] shot a man in Reno, just to watch him
[F] die
When I
[C] hear that whistle blowing, I hang my head and
[F] cry
INSTRUMENTAL: [over VERSE]
VERSE 3:
I
[F] bet there's rich folk eating in a fancy dining car
They're
[F] probably drinking coffee and smoking big cigars
But I
[Bb] know I had it coming, I know I can't be
[F] free
But those
[C] people keep a-moving, and that's what tortures
[F] me
INSTRUMENTAL: [over VERSE]
VERSE 4:
Well
[F] if they freed me from this prison, if that railroad train was mine
I
[F] bet I'd move it all a little farther down the line
[Bb] Far from Folsom Prison, that's where I want to
[F] stay
And I'd
[C] let that lonesome whistle blow my blues a-
[F]-way
