Marc,

  I don't know how many of these songs you will be familiar with so I'll include words

for ones that are like this.   A lot are words with chords over them.





Johnny Cash does this in E.  

    E

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



and I a'int seen the sunshine since I don't know when

       A                                             E

I'm stuck in Folsom Prison, and time keeps draggin' on.

           B7                                    E

But that train keeps a movin' on down to-San-An-Tone



(same pattern for all verses)



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

Always be a good boy, don't ever play with guns"

But I shot a man in Reno, just to watch him die

When I heat the whistle blowin' I hang my head and cry.



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

I bet I'd move it all a little farther down the line

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

And I'd let that lonsome whistle, blow my blues away

Folsom Prison Blues by Johnny Cash

(from "The Songs of Johnny Cash")



  G

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



  G                                              G7

And I ain't seen the sunshine since I don't know when,



    C7                                             G

I'm stuck at Folsom Prison and time keeps draggin' on.



         D7                                     G

But that train keeps a-rollin' on down to San Antone.





2. When I was just a baby, my momma told me, "Son,

   Always be a good boy; don't ever play with guns."

   But I shot a man in Reno, just to watch him die.

   When I hear that whistle blowin', I hang my head and cry.



3. I bet there's rich folk eatin'in a fancy dining car.

   They're prob'ly drinkin' coffee and smokin' big cigars,

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

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



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

   I bet I'd move it all a little farther down the line,

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

   And I'd let that lonesome whistle blow my blues away.

I think Cash' recording goes E - A - B7, otherwise this is correct, of course.

Well no one has requested this but here are the riffs

from Johnny Cash's "Fulsom Prison Blues".  I'd like to 

see tab/chords for any of his other songs, particularly

"Ring of Fire."    All mistakes are mine alone ... Kevin
