Johnny Cash - Folsom Prison Blues Chords

0Intro:  
F#0  C#1  F#2  
1  
F#3  
2I hear the train a comin', it's rollin' 'round the bend   
                                      F#74  
3And I ain't seen the sunshine since, I don't know when    
B5                                                  F#6 
4I'm stuck in Folsom Prison and time keeps draggin' on   
         C#7                    B8                F#9  
5But that train keeps a-rollin' on down to San Antone   
6  
7When I was just a baby, my mama told me, son   
8Always be a good boy, don't ever play with gun   
9But I shot a man in Reno, just to watch him die   
10When I hear that whistle blowin', I hang my head and cry   
11  
12Solo:  
F#10  F#711  B12  F#13  C#14  B15  F#16  
13  
14I bet there's rich folks eatin' in a fancy dining car   
15They're probably drinkin' coffee and smokin' big cigars   
16But I know I had it comin', I know I can't be free   
17But those people keep a-movin' and that's what tortures me   
18  
19Well, if they freed me from this prison if that railroad train was mine   
20I bet I'd move it on a little farther down the line   
21Far from Folsom Prison that's where I want to stay   
22And I'd let that lonesome whistle blow my blues away   
23  
24Outro:  
C#17  F#18  
25  
26
