Start Jamming...
Busy flattening, flattening the hooves, waiting for the train.
I see him nearly fading [B] his smile.
Bobby thrown the diesel down, just before it rained.
Rode us all the way to the farm [E] place.
[B]
I pulled my broom, turned my dirty red bandanna.
I was playing the song while Bobby [A] sang the blues.
When she wrote that verse, every [E] time I would hold him Bobby's [B] hand in mine.
He sang me teary songs and dried the blues.
[A]
Freedom is just another [E] word for another man to [B] lose.
Ain't nothing, ain't nothing to really bring you.
[A]
Feeling blue was easy [B] knowing when Bobby sang the blues.
No one was good enough for me, [F#]
[B] good enough for me my my baby.
[F#]
From the Kentucky coal mines, to the river for his [F#] son.
Bobby shared the secrets [C#] of my soul.
All kinds of weather, and everything I've ever done.
Bobby baby, I [F#] can't live on the floor.
One day I'm here to meet this Lord, I let him slip away.
He's looking for a light home, [B] and I hope he finds it.
I've seen all my [F#] tomorrows, I've seen good yesterdays.
[C#] Holding Bobby's body next to mine.
