[Verse 1]
E
I hear the train a-coming, it's rolling round the bend
E7
and I ain't seen the sunshine since I don't know when
A E
I'm stuck in Folsom Prison, and time keeps draggin' on
B7 E
But that train keeps a-rollin' on down to San Antone

[Verse 2]
E
When I was just a baby, my Mama told me 'Son,
E7
always be a good boy; don't ever play with guns.'
A E
But I shot a man in Reno, just to watch him die
B7 E
when I hear that whistle blowin' I hang my head and cry

[Solo]
E | E7 | E | E7

[Verse 3]
E
I bet there's rich folks eatin' in a fancy dining car
E7
They're probably drinking coffee and smoking big cigars
A E
Well, I know I had it coming, I know I can't be free
B7 E
But those people keep a moving, and that's what tortures me

[Solo]
E | E7 | E | E7
A | A | E | E
