Guitar Two just strums the chords throughout the whole song while Guitar One plays an

E
I hear the train a-comin' It's rollin' 'round the bend and I ain't seen the

                               E7    A
sunshine since I don't know when I'm stuck in Folsom Prison and time keeps

           E         B7                                              E
draggin' on But that train keeps a-rollin' on down to San Antone

Same 12-bar chord progression throughout the all of the verses:

Verse 2: When I was just a baby my mama told me "Son Always be a good boy Don't ever 
with guns" But I shot a man in Reno just to watch him die When I heaer that whistle blowin' 
hang my head and cry

Verse 3:I bet there's rich folks eatin' In a fancy dinin' car They're prob'ly drinkin' 
and smokin' big cigars Well I know I had it comini' I know I can't be free But those 
keep a-movin' and that's what tortures me

Verse 4: If they freed me from this prison If that railroad train was mine I bet I'd 
it on a little farther down the line Far from Folsom Prison That's where I want tostay And 
let that lonesome whistle blow my blues a-way


After verses 2 and 3 there is a solo:
