Chords
[Verse 1]
C7 F I Fhear the train a comin',
It's rolling round the bend.
And I ain't seen the sunshine since I don't know when.
I'm Bbstuck in Folsom prison, and time keeps draggin' on.
F But that C7train keeps a rollin' on down to San AnFton.
[Verse 2]
When IF was just a baby my mama told me,
"Son, always be a good boy, don't ever play with guns."
But I Bbshot a man in Reno just to watch him Fdie.
When I C7hear that whistle blowing I hang my head and Fcry.
[Verse 3]
F Bb F C7 F I Fbet there's rich folks eating from a fancy dining car.
They're probably drinkin' coffee and smoking big cigars.
Well I Bbknow I had it coming, I know I can't be Ffree,
But those C7people keep a movin',
And that's what tortures Fme.
[Solo]
F Bb F C7 F Well if they'd Ffree me from his prison,
[Verse 4]
If that railroad train was mine,
I bet I'd move it all a little farther down the line.
FarBb from Folsom prison, that's where I want to Fstay,
And I'd C7let that lonesome whistle blow my blues aFway.
[Outro]
C7 F
