Verse:
E
I hear that train comin' it's rollin' 'round the bend,
                  Bm7
I ain't seen the sunshine, since, I don't know when,
     A                      E A/B E
Well I'm stuck In Folsom Prison, time keeps draggin' on,
A7    B                  E
But that train keep's rollin' on down to San Antone.

E

Well I was just a baby, my Mama told me son,
         Em       F#7    G
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,
Bm7  B                      E
Well I hear that whistle blowin' I hang my head and cry.

Verse:
E
I bet there's rich folk's eatin' some fancy dining car,
                        G7
Their probably drinkin' coffee, and smokin' big cigars,
   A       E  A7         E  A
But I know I had it comin' I know I can't be free,
     B                  Bm7   E
But those people keep on movin' and that what tortures me.

E            F#7       G7     A
But I move it on little farther down the line, well I,
     B                     E
Yeah and I let that lonesome whistle, blow my blues away.
