[Verse 1]
     E
I hear the train a-coming, it's rolling round the bend
                                                          E7
and I ain't seen the sunshine since I don't know when
          A                                                                   E
I'm stuck at Folsom Prison, and time keeps draggin' on
              B7                                                         E
But that train keeps a-rollin' on down to San Antone

[Verse 2]
          E
When I was just a baby, my Mama told me 'Son,
                                             E7
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
when I hear that whistle blowin' I hang my head and cry

[Solo]
E | E7 | E | E7
A | A | E | E
B7| B7| E |

[Verse 3]
E
I bet there's rich folks eatin' from a fancy dining car
                                                              E7
They're probably drinking coffee and smoking big cigars
           A                                                         E
But I know I had it coming, I know I can't be free
            B7                                                               E
But those people keep a moving, and that's what tortures me

[Solo]
E | E7 | E | E7
A | A | E | E
B7| B7| E |

[Verse 4]
                      E
Well, if they freed me from this prison, if that railroad train was mine
                                           E7
I bet I'd move it on 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
