None of them
Folsom Prison Blues Original: I've seen old video footage of Johnny playing this in F with a capo on the 1st fret while he was playing an E chord and I've seen footage of him playing in E with no capo. I think most people play it in E so that's what I'm going to tab. Be sure and palm mute the rhythm on both versions intro to original: e------------------------------------- b------------------------------------- g------------------------------------- d-------1-1-----------2---2---2---2--- a-2-2-2-----2-----------2-------2----- e-------------2^(3)-0-------0-------0- *keep playing this over the E chord When you come to the A chord you play this. e--------------------------- b--------------------------- g--------------------------- d---2---2-------2---2---2--- a-----2-------0-------0----- e-0-------2-4-----0-------0- A chord Then back to E e--------------------------- b--------------------------- g--------------------------- d---2---2---2-------2---2--- a-0-------0-----------2----- e-----0-------4-2-0-------0- E chord: continue to B e------------------------------------------------- b------------------------------------------------- g------------------------------------------------- d---2---2---2---2-------1---1---1---1-1----------- a-----2-------2---0-1-2-------2---------2--------- e-0-------0---------------2-------2-------2^(3)-0- B E solo: 1st & 2nd solo e-----7-10-7-10-7-----7-10-7-10-----7-10-7-10-7- b-8h9-------------8h9-----------8h9------------- g----------------------------------------------- d----------------------------------------------- a----------------------------------------------- e----------------------------------------------- e-----7-10-7-10-7---------------5----5-5-5--9--9--9--9--9- b-8h9-------------9-----2-2---2-2----5-5-5--10-10-10-10-10 g------------------9----2-2-2-2----/6---6---9-----------9- d-----------------------2---2----------------------------- a---------------------0----------------------------------- e--------------------------------------------------------- e--------------------------------------------------- b--------------------------------------------------- g--------------------------------------------------- d---------2---2---2---2-------1---1---1-1----------- a-----------2-------2---0-1-2-------2-----2--------- e-2^(3)-0-------0---------------2-----------2^(3)-0- The second version is the live version off the Farm Aid Volume 1 cd.
