Tom: D
D5
I hear the train a comin', it's rolling 'round the bend
D5
And I ain't seen the sunshine since I don't know when
G5 D5
I'm stuck in Folsom prison, and time keeps draggin' on
A5 G5 N.C. D5
But that train keeps a rollin' on down to San Antone
[Verse 2]
D5
When I was just a baby my mama told me, "Son
D5
Always be a good boy, don't ever play with guns"
G5 D5
But I shot a man in Reno just to watch him die
A5 G5 N.C. D5
When I hear that whistle blowing, I hang my head and cry
[Solo]
| D5 | D5 | D5 | D5 |
| G5 | G5 | D5 | D5 |
| A5 | G5 | D5 | D5 |
[Verse 3]
D5
Theres probably rich folks eating from a fancy dining car
D5
They're probably drinkin' coffee and smoking big cigars
G5 D5
Well I know I had it coming, I know I can't be free
A5
But those people keep a-movin'
G5
And that's what tortures me
[Solo]
| D5 | D5 | D5 | D5 |
| G5 | G5 | D5 | D5 |

[Verse 4]
D5 N.C.
Well if they freed me from this prison
D5 N.C.
If that railroad train was mine
D5 N.C. D5
I bet I'd move it on a little farther down the line
G5 D5
Far from Folsom prison, that's where I want to stay
A5 G5 D5
And I'd let that lonesome whistle blow my blues away
