[$title=Folsom Prison Blues] [$artist=Johnny Cash] [define F7=F7:2,3,1,0] [label;Intro:] [tab start] ----------2--2------------- --3-3-3---------3---------- -------------------2b--0--- --------------------------- [tab end] [C7]I hear the train a comin', it's rolling round the bend, and I ain't seen the sunshine since I don't know when I'm [F7]stuck in Folsom prison, and time keeps draggin' [C7]on, but that [G7]train keeps a rollin' [F7]on down to San An[C7]tone. [C7]When I was just a baby, my mama told me: Son, always be a good boy, don't ever play with guns. But I [F7]shot a man in Reno just to watch him [C7]die. When I [G7]hear that whistle blowing, [F7]I hang my head and [C7]cry. [C7]I bet there's rich folks eating in a fancy dining car. They're probably drinkin' coffee and smoking big cigars. Well I [F7]know I had it coming, I know I can't be [C7]free. But those [G7]people keep a movin', and [F7]that's what tortures [C7]me.

(continue strumming chords in the same pattern as the verse) [tab end] [C7]Well if they freed me from this prison, if that railroad train was mine, I bet I'd move it on a little farther down the line. [F7]Far from Folsom prison, that's where I want to [C7]stay. And I'd [G7]let that lonesome whistle [F7]blow my blues a[C7]way.
