FOLSOM PRISON
A A A bd c F F A A A bd c F
I hear the train a com in’ It’s roll in’ ’round the bend
A A A bd c F F F Ab Ab Ab G
And I ain’t seen the sun shine Since, I don’t know when
A G F G F G C G G F Ab F C
I’m stuck in Fol som Pris on And time keeps drag gin’ on
A A G G F G c A A A Ab G F
But that train keeps a-rol lin’ On down to San Ant one
A A A Bb c F F A A A bd C F
When I was just a ba-by My Ma-ma told me, Son
A A bd c F F F G G Ab Ab G
Al ways be a good boy Don’t ev er play with guns”
A A G F G F G F G F Ab F C
But I shot a man in Re-no Just to watch him die
A A G G G F G C A A A Ab F C
When I hear that whis tle blow in’ I hang my head and cry
A A A Bd c F F A A A A Bb C F
I bet there’s rich folks eat-in’ In a fan cy din-ing car
A A A A Bb c F F F Ab Ab Ab Ab G
They’re prob ably drin kin’ cof fee And smok in’ big cig ars
A A G F G F G F F G F Ab F C
But I know I had it com-in’ I know I can’t be free
A A G G G F G C A A A Ab G F
But those peo-ple keep a-movin’ And that’s what tor tures me
A A A A A Bb c F F A A A A Bb C F
Well if they freed me from this pris on If that rail road train was mine
A A A Bb C F F F F Ab Ab Ab G F
I bet I’d move it on a lit tle Fur ther down the line
A A G F G F F G F Ab F C
Far from Fol som Pris on That’s where I want to stay
A A G G G F G C A A Ab G F
And I’d let that lone some whis tle Blow my blues a way
