Folsom Prison Blues Chords

Standard (EADGBE)

Intro

 I hEear the train a comin', it's rolling round the bend

 And IE ain't seen the sunshine since I don't know E7when,

 I'm Astuck in Folsom prison, and time keeps draggin'E on

 But B7that train keeps a rollin' on down to San AntEone..

 When EI was just a baby my mama told me. Son,

 AlEways be a good boy, don't ever play with E7guns.

 But IA shot a man in Reno just to watch him Edie

 When IB7 hear that whistle blowing, I hang my head and Ecry..

 But thosB7e people keep a movin' and that's what torturesE me...

 Well Eif they freed me from this prison, If that railroad train was mine

 I betE I'd move it on a little farther down the lE7ine

 Far Afrom Folsom prison, that's where I want to Estay

 And B7I'd let that lonesome whistle blow my blues Eaway.....
