[EMajor Chord (U,M3,P5)
on the Perfect Unison] hear the train a comin' |
| It's |
[EMajor Chord (U,M3,P5)
on the Perfect Unison] rollin' 'round the bend, |
| And |
[EMajor Chord (U,M3,P5)
on the Perfect Unison] I ain't seen the sunshine, |
| Since, |
[EMajor Chord (U,M3,P5)
on the Perfect Unison] I don't know when, |
| I'm |
[AMajor Chord (U,M3,P5)
on the Perfect Fourth] stuck in Folsom Prison, |
| And |
[AMajor Chord (U,M3,P5)
on the Perfect Fourth] time keeps draggin' |
[EMajor Chord (U,M3,P5)
on the Perfect Unison] on, |
| But that |
[B7Dominant 7th Chord (U,M3,P5,m7)
on the Perfect Fifth] train keeps a-rollin', |
| On |
[B7Dominant 7th Chord (U,M3,P5,m7)
on the Perfect Fifth] down to San An- |
[EMajor Chord (U,M3,P5)
on the Perfect Unison] tone. |
| When |
[EMajor Chord (U,M3,P5)
on the Perfect Unison] I was just a baby, |
| My |
[EMajor Chord (U,M3,P5)
on the Perfect Unison] mama told me, "Son, |
[EMajor Chord (U,M3,P5)
on the Perfect Unison] Always be a good boy, |
| Don't |
[EMajor Chord (U,M3,P5)
on the Perfect Unison] ever play with guns," |
| But I |
[AMajor Chord (U,M3,P5)
on the Perfect Fourth] shot a man in Reno, |
[AMajor Chord (U,M3,P5)
on the Perfect Fourth] Just to watch him |
[EMajor Chord (U,M3,P5)
on the Perfect Unison] die, |
| When I |
[B7Dominant 7th Chord (U,M3,P5,m7)
on the Perfect Fifth] hear that whistle blowin', |
| I |
[B7Dominant 7th Chord (U,M3,P5,m7)
on the Perfect Fifth] hang my head and |
[EMajor Chord (U,M3,P5)
on the Perfect Unison] cry. |
| I |
[EMajor Chord (U,M3,P5)
on the Perfect Unison] bet there's rich folks eatin', |
| In a |
[EMajor Chord (U,M3,P5)
on the Perfect Unison] fancy dining car, |
| They're |
[EMajor Chord (U,M3,P5)
on the Perfect Unison] probably drinkin' coffee, |
| And |
[EMajor Chord (U,M3,P5)
on the Perfect Unison] smokin' big cigars, |
| But I |
[AMajor Chord (U,M3,P5)
on the Perfect Fourth] know I had it comin', |
| I |
[AMajor Chord (U,M3,P5)
on the Perfect Fourth] know I can't be |
[EMajor Chord (U,M3,P5)
on the Perfect Unison] free, |
| But |
[B7Dominant 7th Chord (U,M3,P5,m7)
on the Perfect Fifth] those people keep a-movin', |
| And |
[B7Dominant 7th Chord (U,M3,P5,m7)
on the Perfect Fifth] that's what tortures |
[EMajor Chord (U,M3,P5)
on the Perfect Unison] me. |
| Well, |
[EMajor Chord (U,M3,P5)
on the Perfect Unison] if they freed me from this prison, |
| If that |
[EMajor Chord (U,M3,P5)
on the Perfect Unison] railroad train was mine, |
| I |
[EMajor Chord (U,M3,P5)
on the Perfect Unison] bet I'd move it on |
| a li'l |
[EMajor Chord (U,M3,P5)
on the Perfect Unison] farther down the line, |
[AMajor Chord (U,M3,P5)
on the Perfect Fourth] Far from Folsom Prison, |
| That's |
[AMajor Chord (U,M3,P5)
on the Perfect Fourth] where I want to |
[EMajor Chord (U,M3,P5)
on the Perfect Unison] stay, |
| And I'd |
[B7Dominant 7th Chord (U,M3,P5,m7)
on the Perfect Fifth] let that lonesome whistle, |
[B7Dominant 7th Chord (U,M3,P5,m7)
on the Perfect Fifth] Blow my Blues a- |
[EMajor Chord (U,M3,P5)
on the Perfect Unison] way. |
