Folsom Prison Blues J. Cash NOTE: I don't do actual tablature very often, so sorry if the lick is hard to read. You probably know it anyways. CAPO II INTRO LICK: 1-------------------------------------| 2-------------------------------------| 3-------------------------------------| 4---------------1---1-----------------| 5--2---2---2-------------2------------| 6-----------------------------2b---0--| INTRO: E E I hear that train a-comin, it's comin' around the bend E I ain't seen the sunshine since I don't know when A E I'm locked in Folsom Prison and time keeps draggin' on B7 E And I hear that train a-rollin' on down to San Antone When I was just a baby my mama told me son Always be a good boy and don't ever play with guns But I shot a man in Reno just to watch him die When I hear that lonesome whistle I hang my head and cry SOLO I bet there's rich folks eatin' in a fancy dinin' car They're probably drinkin' coffee and smokin' big cigars Well I know I had it comin', I know I can't be free But I hear that train a-rollin' me and that's what tortures me SOLO If they freed me from this prison and that railroad train was mine I bet I'd move it over a little farther down the line Far from Folsom Prison, that's where I long to be And let that train keep rollin' and roll my blues away OUTRO lick (skip the very first note of the INTRO lick)
