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.
I heEar the train a comin' it's rollin 'round the bend and I a'int seen the sunshine since I don't know when I'm stuAck in Folsom Prison, and time keeps draggin' oEn. But that trB7ain keeps a movin' on down to-San-An-TEone
(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 #----------------------------------PLEASE NOTE---------------------------------# # From: kra9493@acf6.acf.nyu.edu Folsom Prison Blues by Johnny Cash (from "The Songs of Johnny Cash")
I Ghear the train a-comin'; it's rollin' 'round the bend, AnGd I ain't seen the sunshine since I don't know G7when,
I'm C7stuck at Folsom Prison and time keeps draggin' Gon. But that D7train keeps a-rollin' on down to San AnGtone.
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. From: t.j.strom@ub.uio.no (Trond J. Stroem) I think Cash' recording goes E - A - B7, otherwise this is correct, of course. -- From: colton@bnr.ca (Kevin Colton) Subject: TAB: Fulsom Prison Blues 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 h = hammer p = pull off b = bend (B7) = chord INTRO and END ... e B
