VERSE 1: F You can tell the world - you never was my girl C7 You can burn my clothes - when I’m gone

Oh, you can tell your friends - just what a fool I've been F And laugh and joke about me on the phone

You can tell my arms - go back onto the farm C7 You can tell my feet to hit the floor

Or you can tell my lips - to tell my fingertips F They won't be reaching out for you no more

VERSE 2: F You can tell your ma - I moved to Arkansas C7 Or you can tell your dog to bite my leg

Go tell your brother Cliff - whose fist can tear my lip F He never really liked me anyway

Or tell your Aunt Louise - tell anything you please C7 My self already knows I'm not ok

And you can tell my eyes - to watch out for my mind F It might be walkin' out on me today

INTRO: [EVEN STRUM: D-DUDUDU] F C7 F | X X X X | X X X X | X X X X | X X X X|

And if you tell my heart - my achy breaky heart F He might - blow - up and kill this man

[Even, rhythmic strum reminiscent of a train’s spinning wheels: D-duDudu]

VERSE 1: G I hear the train a-comin

It’s rollin round the bend

And I ain’t seen the sunshine

Since - I don’t know when C I’m stuck in Folsom Prison G And time keeps drag - gin - on D But that train keeps a-rollin G On down to San Antone

VERSE 2: G When I was just a baby

My mama told me, “Son

Always be a good boy

Don’t ever play with guns” C But I shot a man in Reno G Just to watch - him - die D When I hear that whistle blowin G I hang my head and cry

INSTRUMENTAL VERSE: G G G G C C G G D D G

In a fancy dining car

They’re probably drinkin coffee

And smoking big cigars C But I know I had it comin G I know I can’t - be - free D But those people keep a-movin G And that’s what tortures me

VERSE 4: G Well, if they freed me from this prison

If that railroad train was mine

I bet I’d move it on a little
