Spoof - Boredom Prison Blues
[G] I hear that train song comin´, they’re [G] playing it again
Seems I’ve been playing it since [G7] I don´t know when
I´m [C] bored of Folsom prison, and [C] it’s getting on my [G] nerves And if [D7] I play it one more time I may just go [G] beserk!
When [G] I was just a baby my [G] mama told me. Son
Don’t play [G] Folsom Prison or I’ll [G7] have to get my gun
Well she [C] shot a man in Blackpool before the second [G] verse It may [D7] be an easy 12 Bar but there is nothing [G] worse
[E7] [INTO KEY CHANGE]
I [A] bet there´s people playing in some [A] Ukulele bar
Along with [A] Bring me Sunshine, Sloop John B [A7] and Ring of Fire
Well I [D] know it’s fun for strumming [D] it’s in an easy [A] key
But that [E7] train song keeps on coming, and that´s what tortures [A] me
Well [A] if I tore it from my songbook, If I [A] I threw it in the trash I’d [A] still remember word for word [A7] the songs of Johnny Cash [D] They’ve scarred my brain forever [D] They’re in there till I [A] die Oh that’s [E7] why when I hear that train song,
I hang my head and [A] cry
