CASH JOHNNY - "folsom prison blues3" Tablature

Folsom Prison Blues by Johnny Cash
(from "Live at Folsom Prison")


The other versions of this song on guitartabs are completely wrong.
Here is the correct version.


F
I hear the train a-comin'; it's rollin' 'round the bend,


And I ain't seen the sunshine since I don't know when,

Bb F
I'm stuck at Folsom Prison and time keeps draggin' on.

C F
But that train keeps a-rollin' on down to San Antone.


2. When I was just a baby, my momma 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 folk eatin'in a fancy dining car.
They're prob'ly 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 it all 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.
