Buses flat in Baton Rouge
Waiting for a [B] train
[G]
When I [E] steal the nearest faded S [D].Y.G.
[Bm] Johnny [B] thawed the diesel down
[D] Just before it rained
[G] [D] It brought us all the way into [G] Baltimore
I pulled my harpoon out of my dirty red bandana
I screamed some, while Johnny [A] sang the blues
[C] When she walked the slackin' [G] timers
Holding Johnny's hand in mine
[D] We sang every song we ever knew
[A] Freedom's just [C] another word [G] for nothing left to lose
[D] Nothing, it went nothing on it when I ain't free
[C] And if feeling good was easy love
When he sang the blues, you [D] know
Feeling good was good enough for me
[B] Good [D] enough for me and my bumblebee
[G]
[A] From the Kentucky coal mines to the California sun
Yeah, Bobby shared the secrets of my [E] soul
Through all kinds of weather, through everything that we done
Yeah, Bobby, baby, kept me [A] from the cold world
One day up near Salinas, I let him slip away
He's looking for that home, I [D] hope he finds it
Will I trade all of my tomorrows [A] for one single yesterday
[E] To be holding Bobby's body next to mine
[A]
Freedom's just another word for nothing left to lose
Nothing, it went nothing on [A] it when I ain't free
And if feeling good was easy love
When he sang the blues, [E] you know
Feeling good [E] was good enough for [B] me
[Abm] Good enough for me and my [A] bumblebee
