'Folsom Prison Blues' by Cash Johnny - Guitar Tutorial

            Capo at One
 
Intro: E 
 
Verse 1:
 E
I hear the train a comin'  
 
It's rollin' 'round the bend  
 
And I ain't seen the sunshine  
         E7 
Since, I don't know when  
 A7
I'm stuck in Folsom Prison  
                         E
And time keeps draggin' on  
          B7
But that train keeps a-rollin'  
 A7                   E
On down to San Antone 
 
Verse 2:
 E
When I was just a baby  
 
My Mama told me, "Son  
 
Always be a good boy  
          E7
Don't ever play with guns"  
 A7
But I shot a man in Reno  
                     E
Just to watch him die  
           B7
When I hear that whistle blowin'  
 A7                     E
I hang my head and cry 
 
E  E7  A7  E  B7  A7  E
 
Verse 3:
 E
I bet there's rich folks eatin'  
 
In a fancy dining car  
 
They're probably drinkin' coffee  
       E7
And smokin' big cigars  
 A7
But I know I had it comin'  
                       E
I know I can't be free  
              B7
But those people keep a-movin'  
 A7                        E
And that's what tortures me 
 
E  E7  A7  E  B7  A7  E
 
Verse 4:
 E
Well, if they freed me from this prison  
 
If that railroad train was mine  
 
I bet I'd move it on a little  
     E7
Farther down the line  
 A7
Far from Folsom Prison  
                          E
That's where I want to stay  
              B7
And I'd let that lonesome whistle  
 A7                E
Blow my blues away 
 
End: E
