[A]
[E]
[A] Busted flat bedroom, heading for the train, feeling nearly [E] faded as my jeans.
Bobby thonged a diesel down, just before it rained.
Took us all the way to [A] New Orleans.
I pulled my harpoon out of my dirty red bandana.
I was low and sad while Bobby [D] sang the blues.
With them windshield wipers slapping [A] time and Bobby clapping hands,
[E] we finally sang off every song [A] that driver knew.
[D] Freedom's just another [A] word for nothing left to lose.
[E] Nothing ain't worth nothing [A] but it's free.
[D] Feeling good was easy, Lord, [A] when Bobby sang the blues.
[E] Feeling good was good enough for me.
Good enough for me, [A] Bobby.
From
[E]
[A] the coal mines of Kentucky to the California sun,
Bobby shared the secrets [E] of my soul.
Standing right beside me, Lord, through everything I've done.
Every night he kept [A] me from the cold.
Then somewhere near Salinas, Lord, I let her slip away,
looking for the home [D] I hoped she'd find.
I'd trade all my [A] tomorrows for a single yesterday,
[E] holding Bobby's body [A] next to mine.
[D] Freedom's just another [A] word for nothing left to lose.
[E] Nothing ain't worth nothing [A] but it's free.
[D] Feeling good was easy, [A] Lord, when Bobby sang the blues.
[E] Buddy, that was good enough for me.
And Janice, good enough for me, [A] Bobby Boogie.
[E]
[A] [Am] Thank you.
