Capo II

[Verse]
  D#
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,
    G#
I'm stuck in Folsom Prison,
                        D#
And time keeps draggin' on,
         A#
But that train keeps a-rollin',
                 D#
On down to San Antone.

[Verse]
     D#
When I was just a baby,

My Mama told me, "Son,

Always be a good boy,

Don't ever play with guns,"
      G#
But I shot a man in Reno,
                  D#
Just to watch him die,
       A#
When I hear that whistle blowin',
                   D#
I hang my head and cry.

[Solo]
D#  G#  D#  A#  D#

[Verse]
  D#
I bet there's rich folks eatin',

In a fancy dining car,

They're probably drinkin' coffee,

And smokin' big cigars,
      G#
But I know I had it comin',
                  D#
I know I can't be free,
          A#
But those people keep a-movin',
                         D#
And that's what tortures me.

[Interlude]
D#  G#  D#  A#  D#

[Verse]
      D#
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,
G#
Far from Folsom Prison,
                       D#
That's where I want to stay,
        A#
And I'd let that lonesome whistle,
               D#
Blow my Blues away.
