Note: There are a couple of  Key changes below

  F                                                       

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

                                      F7                  

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.  

     F                                          

When I was just a baby, my Mama told me, "Son,  

                            F7                     

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 blowin', I hang my head and cry.  

F   D7   

/// ///  

  G                                                     

I bet there's rich folks eatin' in a fancy dining car,  

                                      G7                   

They're probably drinkin' coffee, and smokin' big cigars,  

      C                                       G      

But I know I had it comin', I know I can't be free,  

          D7                                             G    

But those people keep a-movin', and that's what tortures me.  

              G                                                           

Well, if they freed me from this prison, if that railroad train was mine  

                              G7                      

I bet I'd move it on a little further down the line,  

C                                              G      

Far from Folsom Prison, that's where I want to stay,  

        D7                                       G     G       

And I'd let that lonesome whistle, blow my Blues away. //////  

         D                            G     

I keep a close watch on this heart of mine  

          D                      G     

I keep my eyes wide open all the time  

           C                         G      

I keep the ends out for the tie that binds  

               D                G     

Because you're mine, I walk the line  

          D                     G     

I find it very, very easy to be true  

         D                      G        

I find myself alone when day is through  

            C                       G    

Yes, I'll admit that I'm a fool for you  

               D                G     

Because you're mine, I walk the line  

           D                        G      

As sure as night is dark and day is light  

           D                       G      

I keep you on my mind both day and night  

         C                                G      

And happiness I've known proves that it's right  

               D                G     G   A    

Because you're mine, I walk the line. /// ///  

             E7                     A     

You've got a way to keep me on your side  

            E7                          A     

You give me cause for love that I can't hide  

          D                        A     

For you I know I'd try to turn the tide  

               E7               A     

Because you're mine, I walk the line  

         E7                           A     

I keep a close watch on this heart of mine  

          E7                     A     

I keep my eyes wide open all the time  

           D                         A      

I keep the ends out for the tie that binds  

               E7               A         

Because you're mine, I walk the line x 3
