[Verse 1]
F
I hear the train a comin', it's rolling round the bend
and I ain't seen the sunshine since I don't know when,
Bb F
I'm stuck in Folsom prison, and time keeps draggin' on
C7 F
but that train keeps a rollin' on down to San Antone
When I was just a baby my mama told me. Son,
always be a good boy, don't ever play with guns
Bb F
But I shot a man in Reno just to watch him die
C7 F
when I hear that whistle blowing I hang my head and cry
[Verse 2]
E
I bet there's rich folks eating in a fancy dining car
they're probably drinkin' coffee and smoking big cigars
Bb F
Well I know I had it coming, I know I can't be free
C7 F
but those people keep a movin'
and that's what tortures me...
