Capo VII

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

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

My Mama told me, "Son,

Always be a good boy,

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

[Solo]
A#  D#  A#  F  A#

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

In a fancy dining car,

They're probably drinkin' coffee,

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

[Interlude]
A#  D#  A#  F  A#

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