: Folsom Prison Blues

1. I 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.

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

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…

Of every person who died in Asus2

Throw us a bone, you men of Em

Exploding in the shells at night
It's everywhere a baby cries
