: Folsom Prison Blues

1. E 
hear the train a comin' 

It's rollin' 'round the bend, 
And I ain't seen the sunshine, 
Since, I don't know E7 
when,

I'm A 
stuck in Folsom Prison,

And time keeps draggin' E 
on,

But that train B7 
keeps a-rollin',

On down to San Antone.

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

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

4. Well, if they freed me from this prison, 
If that railroad train was mine, 
I bet I'd move out over a little, 
Farther down the line,
Far from Folsom Prison,
That's where I want to stay,
And I'd let that lonesome whistle,
Blow my blues away.

: Redemption Day

CAPO VI

1: Em 
I've wept for those who suffer long

But how I weep for those who've gone
In rooms of grief and questioned wrong E|-3p2p0-|
But keep on Asus2 
killing
Em 
 


2: It's in the soul to feel such things
But weak to watch without speaking
Oh, what mercy sadness brings
If God be willing

R: Em 
There is a 
G 
train that's heading straight

To Heaven's Em 
gate, 
C 
to Heaven's 
G 
gate

And on the way child and man
And woman Em 
wait, 
C 
watch and 
Asus2 
wait

For redemption Em 
day


3: Fire rages in the streets
And swallows everything it meets
It's just an image often seen
On television
4: Come leaders, come ye men of great
Let us hear you pontificate
Your many virtues laid to waste
And we aren't listening

R: There is a train…

*: Asus2 
What do 
G 
you have for us 
C 
today

Asus2 
Throw us a
G 
 bone but save the 
Em 
plate

Asus2 
On why we 
G 
waited till so late
C 
 

C 
Was there no oil to excavate
Asus2 
 

Asus2 
No riches in trade for the 
c 
fate

C 
Of every person who died in 
Asus2 
hate

Throw us a bone, you men of Em 
great


R: There is a train…

*: It's buried in the countryside
Exploding in the shells at night
It's everywhere a baby cries
C 
Freedom…
Asus2 
C 
Freedom…
