Folsom Prison Blues Chords

VERSE 1
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 Stuck In Folsom Prison, And Time Keeps Draggin’ On
But That Train Keeps A Rollin’ On Down To San Antone

VERSE 2
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
When I Hear That Whistle Blowing, I Hang My Head And Cry

SOLO


VERSE 3
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

SOLO


VERSE 4
Well If They Freed Me From This Prison, If That Railroad Train Was Mine
I Bet I’d Move It On A Little Farther 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

Folsom Prison Blues Lyrics

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 Stuck In Folsom Prison, And Time Keeps Draggin’ On
But That Train Keeps A Rollin’ On Down To San Antone

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
When I Hear That Whistle Blowing, 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 Freed Me From This Prison
If That Railroad Train Was Mine
I Bet I’d Move It On A Little Farther 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
