Folsom Prison Blues (Chrom F)

6 6 6 -6 7 5 5
I hear the train a comin’
6 6 6 -6 7 6
It’s rollin’ ’round the bend
6 6 6 -6 -6 7 5
And I ain’t seen the sunshine
5 5 6 6 6 -5*
Since, I don’t know when
-5* -5 5 -5 5 -5 5 (#)
I’m stuck in Folsom Prison
-5 -5 5 -5* 5 3
And time keeps draggin’ on
6 6 -5 -5 -5 3
But that train keeps a-rollin’
3 3 3 3 -2 -1* -1 1
On down to San Antone
(Repeat)

(Interlude Up To # Then Start)
(Repeat)

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 blowin’
I hang my head and cry

I bet there’s rich folks eatin’
In a fancy dining car
They’re probably drinkin’ coffee
And smokin’ big cigars
But I know I had it comin’
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 out over 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
