E A B7

E

I hear that train a comin', it's comin’ around the bend

And I ain’t seen the sunshine since, I don't know when

A E

I'm stuck in Folsom Prison, and time keeps draggin' on

B7 E

And I hear that whistle blowin’, blowin’ from Sanantone.

E

When I was just a baby, my mama told me Son

Always be a good boy, don't ever play with guns

A E

But I shot a man in Reno, just to watch him die

B7 E

Now I hear the whistle blowin', I hang my head and cry.

E A E B7 A

E

Well I bet there’s rich folks eatin’, in them dinin’ fancy cars

drinkin’ our black coffee and smokin’ big cigars

A E

Well I know I had it comin’, I know I can’t be free

B7 E

But I hear that whistle blowin’, and that’s what tortures me.

E

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

I bet I'd move it all a little farther down the line

A E

Far from Folsom Prison, that's where I want to stay

B7 E

And I'd let that lonesome whistle, blow my blues away.

E A E B7 A

E

When I was just a baby, my mama told me Son

Always be a good boy, don't ever play with guns

A E

But I shot a man in Reno, just to watch him die

B7 E

Now I hear the whistle blowin', I hang my head and cry.
