Folsom Prison Blues - Johnny Cash - 40 bpm - 2 time

I 
E
hear the train a 

comin'. It's 

rolling round the 

bend.

 
E
I ain't seen the 

sunshine since 
E7
I don't know 

when.

I'm 
A
stuck in Folsom 

prison, 

and time keeps 

draggin' 
E
on.

But that 
B7
train keeps a 

rollin' on 

down to 

San An
E
tone.

When 
E
I was just a 

baby my 

mama told me, 

Son,

 
E
Always be a 

good boy, don't 
E7
ever play with 

guns.

I 
A
shot a man in 

Reno 

just to 

watch him 
E
die.

When I 
B7
hear that 

whistle blowing, 

I hang my 

head and 
E
cry.

I’ll 
E
bet there's rich folks 

eating in them 

fancy dining 

cars.

They're 
E
probably drinkin' 

coffee and 
E7
smoking big 

cigars

Well I 
A
knew I had it 

coming, 

I know I 

can't be 
E
free

But that 
B7
train keeps a 

rolling, 

and that's what 

tortures 
E
me

If they 
E
freed me from this 

prison, and that 

railroad train was 

mine

You can 
E
bet I'd move it 

on a little 
E7
farther down the 

line

 
A
Far from Folsom 

prison, 

that's where I 

want to 
E
stay

And I'd 
B7
let that lonesome 

whistle 

blow my 

blues a
E
way
