  E        /       /     /     /        /         /    /
I hear the train a comin' It's rollin' 'round the bend,
    E       /         /      /       /   /         /   /
And I ain't seen the sunshine, Since, I don't know when,
    A        /      /      /     /          /   /    E  / / / / /
I'm stuck in Folsom Prison, And time keeps draggin' on,
         B7    /       /     / /    /       /  / E
But that train keeps a-rollin', on down to San Antone.

     E     /      /   /     /   /         /  /
When I was just a baby, My Mama told me,  Son,
E      /    /       /       /     /        /    /
Always be a good boy, Don't ever play with guns,
      A      /      /   //    /   /     /   E / / / / /
But I shot a man in Reno, Just to watch him die,
       B7         /      /      //  /        /   /    E
When I hear that whistle blowin', I hang my head and cry.

      E            /          /     /    /     /       /
I bet there's rich folks eatin', In a fancy dining car,
E            /         /       /  /     /         /     /
They're probably drinkin' coffee, And smokin' big cigars,
       A      /      /    / /  /      /     /  E
Well I know I had it comin', I know I can't be free,
              B7      /    /  //          /       /  /  E
But those people keep a-movin',And that's what tortures me.

      E       /        /         /        /     /      /        /         /
Well, if they freed me from this prison, If that railroad train was mine,
  E       /       /     /       /       /         /   /
I bet I'd move it all a little, Farther down the line,
    A       /      /  / /            /   /   /  E / / / /
Far from Folsom Prison, That's where I want to stay,
            B7       /        /  / /    /  /     / E /
And I'd let that lonesome whistle, Blow my Blues away.
