Folsom Prison Blues Chords
Found tabs online that were wrong. This is correct, simple song to play, minimal
practice required. Tabbed by Vincent Astolfi
E
I hear the train a comin'
It's rollin' 'round the bend
And I ain't seen the sunshine
A
Since, I don't know when
A
I'm stuck in Folsom Prison
E
And time keeps draggin' on
B7
But that train keeps a-rollin'
A E
On down to San Antone
E
When I was just a baby
My Mama told me, "Son
Always be a good boy
A
Don't ever play with guns"
[ Tab from: https://www.guitartabs.cc/tabs/j/johnny_cash/folsom_prison_blues_crd_ver_8.html ]
But I shot a man in Reno
E
Just to watch him die
B7
When I hear that whistle blowin'
A E
I hang my head and cry
E
I bet there's rich folks eatin'
In a fancy dining car
They're probably drinkin' coffee
A
And smokin' big cigars
But I know I had it comin'
E
I know I can't be free
B7
But those people keep a-movin'
A E
And that's what tortures me
E
Well, if they freed me from this prison
If that railroad train was mine
I bet I'd move it on a little
A
Farther down the line
Far from Folsom Prison
E
That's where I want to stay
B7
And I'd let that lonesome whistle
A E
Blow all my blues away
