I [CMajor Chord (U,M3,P5)
on the Perfect Unison
]
hear the train a comin'
It's [CMajor Chord (U,M3,P5)
on the Perfect Unison
]
rollin' 'round the bend,
And [CMajor Chord (U,M3,P5)
on the Perfect Unison
]
I ain't seen the sunshine,
Since, [CMajor Chord (U,M3,P5)
on the Perfect Unison
]
I don't know when,
I'm [FMajor Chord (U,M3,P5)
on the Perfect Fourth

stuck in Folsom Prison,
And [FMajor Chord (U,M3,P5)
on the Perfect Fourth
]
time keeps draggin'
[CMajor Chord (U,M3,P5)
on the Perfect Unison
]
on,
But that [G7Dominant 7th Chord (U,M3,P5,m7)

train keeps a-rollin',
On [G7Dominant 7th Chord (U,M3,P5,m7)
on the Perfect Fifth
]
down to San An
[CMajor Chord (U,M3,P5)

Verse 2
When [CMajor Chord (U,M3,P5)
on the Perfect Unison

I was just a baby,
My [CMajor Chord (U,M3,P5)
on the Perfect Unison
]
mama told me, "Son,
Always be a good boy,
Don't [CMajor Chord (U,M3,P5)
on the Perfect Unison

ever play with guns,"
But I [FMajor Chord (U,M3,P5)
on the Perfect Fourth
]
shot a man in Reno,
[FMajor Chord (U,M3,P5)
on the Perfect Fourth
]
Just to watch him
[CMajor Chord (U,M3,P5)
on the Perfect Unison
]
die,
When I [G7Dominant 7th Chord (U,M3,P5,m7)
on the Perfect Fifth
]
hear that whistle blowin',
I [G7Dominant 7th Chord (U,M3,P5,m7)
on the Perfect Fifth
]
hang my head and
[CMajor Chord (U,M3,P5)
on the Perfect Unison
]
cry.

Verse 3
I [CMajor Chord (U,M3,P5)
on the Perfect Unison

bet there's rich folks eatin',
In a [CMajor Chord (U,M3,P5)
on the Perfect Unison
]
fancy dining car,
They're [CMajor Chord (U,M3,P5)
on the Perfect Unison
]
probably drinkin' coffee,
And [CMajor Chord (U,M3,P5)
on the Perfect Unison
]
smokin' big cigars,
But I [FMajor Chord (U,M3,P5)
on the Perfect Fourth
]
know I had it comin',
I [FMajor Chord (U,M3,P5)
on the Perfect Fourth
]
know I can't be
[CMajor Chord (U,M3,P5)
on the Perfect Unison

free,
But [G7Dominant 7th Chord (U,M3,P5,m7)
on the Perfect Fifth
]
those people keep a-movin',
And [G7Dominant 7th Chord (U,M3,P5,m7)
on the Perfect Fifth
]
that's what tortures
[CMajor Chord (U,M3,P5)
on the Perfect Unison

Verse 4
Well, [CMajor Chord (U,M3,P5)
on the Perfect Unison
]
if they freed me from this prison,
If that [CMajor Chord (U,M3,P5)
on the Perfect Unison
]
railroad train was mine,
I [CMajor Chord (U,M3,P5)
on the Perfect Unison
]
bet I'd move it on
a li'l [CMajor Chord (U,M3,P5)
on the Perfect Unison

farther down the line,
[FMajor Chord (U,M3,P5)
on the Perfect Fourth
]
Far from Folsom Prison,
That's [FMajor Chord (U,M3,P5)
on the Perfect Fourth
]
where I want to
[CMajor Chord (U,M3,P5)
on the Perfect Unison
]
stay,
And I'd [G7Dominant 7th Chord (U,M3,P5,m7)
on the Perfect Fifth
]
let that lonesome whistle,
[G7Dominant 7th Chord (U,M3,P5,m7)

Blow my Blues a
