Johnny Cash – Medley Chords

I hear the train a coming, it’s rolling ’round the bend,
And I ain’t seen the sunshine, since, I don’t know when,
I’m stuck in Folsom Prison, and time keeps dragging on,
But that train keeps a-rolling, on down to San Antone.

When I was just a baby, my Mama 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 blowing, I hang my head and cry.

I bet there’s rich folks eating in a fancy dining car,
They’re probably drinking coffee, and smoking big cigars,
But I know I had it coming, I know I can’t be free,
But those people keep a-moving, and that’s what tortures me.

Well, if they freed me from this prison, if that railroad train was mine
I bet I’d move it on a little further 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 keep a close watch on this heart of mine
I keep my eyes wide open all the time
I keep the ends out for the tie that binds
Because you’re mine, I walk the line

I find it very, very easy to be true
I find myself alone when day is through
Yes, I’ll admit that I’m a fool for you
Because you’re mine, I walk the line

As sure as night is dark and day is light
I keep you on my mind both day and night
And happiness I’ve known proves that it’s right
Because you’re mine, I walk the line.

You’ve got a way to keep me on your side
You give me cause for love that I can’t hide
For you I know I’d try to turn the tide
Because you’re mine, I walk the line

I keep a close watch on this heart of mine
I keep my eyes wide open all the time
I keep the ends out for the tie that binds
Because you’re mine, I walk the line

Because you’re mine, I walk the line
Because you’re mine, I walk the line
