By Johnny Cash Key: C G 10 10 10 -10 11 9 9 6 6 6 -6 7 5 5 I hear that train a-com-in' 10 10 10 -10 11 10 6 6 6 -6 7 6 It's rol-lin' 'round the bend, G#dim 10 10 10 -10 -10* 11 9 6 6 6 -6 -6* 7 5 And I ain't seen the sun-shine, 9 10 10 10 -9* 5 6 6 6 -5* Since, I don't know when, C -9* -9 9 -9 9 -9 9 -5* -5 5 -5 5 -5 5 I'm stuck in Fol-som Pri-son, G -9 -9 9 -9* 9 7 -5 -5 5 -5* 5 3 And time keeps drag-gin' on, D7 10 10 -9 -9 -9 9 7 6 6 -5 -5 -5 5 3 But that train keeps a-rol-lin', G 7 7 7 7-6 -5*-5 5 3 3 3 3-2 -1*-1 1 On down to San An- tone. When I was just a baby, My Mama told me, "Son, Always be a good boy, Don't ever play with guns," But I shot a man in Reno, Just to watch him die, When I hear that whistle blowin', I hang my head and cry. I bet there's rich folks eatin', In a fancy dining car, They're probably drinkin' coffee, And smokin' big cigars, But I know I had it comin', I know I can't be free, But those people keep a-movin', And that's what tortures me. Well, if 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, Far from Folsom Prison, That's where I want to stay, And I'd let that lonesome whistle, Blow my Blues away. |
