At N.C. Play B(2f/5s)- B(2f/5s)- A(open 5s)- F#(2f/6s bend)- E(open 6s)
EI hear the train a-comin'; it's rollin' 'round the bend,E E7 And I ain't seen the sunshine since I don't know when, A EI'm stuck in Folsom Prison and time keeps draggin' on. B7 N.C. EBut that train keeps a-rollin' on down to San An-tone.
EWhen I was just a baby, my momma told me, "Son,E E7Always be a good boy; don't ever play with guns."E7 A EBut I shot a man in Reno, just to watch him die.E B7 N.C. EWhen I hear that whistle blowin', I hang my head and cry.
EI bet there's rich folk eatin'in a fancy dining car.E E7 They're prob'ly drinkin' coffee and smokin' big cigars,E7 A EBut I know I had it comin', I know I can't be free,E B7 N.C. E But those people keep a-movin', and that's what tortures me.
EWell if they freed me from this prison, if that railroad train was mine,E E7 I bet I'd move it all a little farther down the line,E7 A EFar from Folsom Prison, that's where I'd want to stay, B7 N.C. EAnd I'd let that lonesome whistle blow my blues away.
