Joaquin Phoenix - Folsom Prison Blues guitar chord

Joaquin Phoenix

Walk The Line Soundtrack

I am submitting all of Joaquin's songs because most of them are in a different tune than Johnny's.

CAPO: 2

(E)I hear 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(A) stuck in Folsom prison, and time keeps draggin' on

but(E) that train keeps a rollin'(B7)on down to San Anton(E)

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

now every time I hear that whistle I hang my head and cry..

I bet there's rich folks eating in a fancy dining car

they're probably drinkin' coffee and smoking big cigars.

Well I know I had it coming, I know I can't be free

but those people keep a movin'

and that's what tortures me...

Well if they'd free me from this prison,

if that railroad train was mine

I bet I'd move just a little further 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.....
