D5
I hear the train a comin', it's rolling 'round the bend
    D5
And I ain't seen the sunshine since I don't know when
    G5                                              D5
I'm stuck in Folsom prison, and time keeps draggin' on
         A5                       G5 N.C.          D5
But that train keeps a rollin' on    down to San Antone


[Verse 2]
     D5
When I was just a baby my mama told me, "Son
D5
Always be a good boy, don't ever play with guns"
      G5                                   D5
But I shot a man in Reno just to watch him die
     A5                         G5 N.C.              D5
When I hear that whistle blowing, I hang my head and cry


[Solo]
| D5     | D5     | D5     | D5     |
| G5     | G5     | D5     | D5     |
| A5     | G5     | D5     | D5     |


[Verse 3]
        D5
Theres probably rich folks eating from a fancy dining car
        D5
They're probably drinkin' coffee and smoking big cigars
       G5                                      D5
Well I know I had it coming, I know I can't be free
          A5
But those people keep a-movin'
G5
  And that's what tortures me


[Solo]
| D5     | D5     | D5     | D5     |
| G5     | G5     | D5     | D5     |
| A5     | G5     | D5     | D5     |


[Verse 4]
             D5 N.C.
Well if they freed me from this prison
        D5 N.C.
If that railroad train was mine
  D5 N.C.                     D5
I bet I'd move it on a little farther down the line
G5                                             D5
Far from Folsom prison, that's where I want to stay
        A5                       G5               D5
And I'd let that lonesome whistle  blow my blues away
