S-130 is not on.
Not that I play that great, but still, [G] I ought to be able to hear it, you know what I mean?
Are you hearing it now?
Now.
It's too loud.
Can't play that good.
Am I getting a Texas [Cm]
accent back?

_ _ _ Busted flat in Baton Rouge
_ _ _ Waiting for a train _
I see the news faded _ as [D] my _ _ _ jeans
_ _ _ _ _
Bobby _ found a diesel dam _ _
Just before it _ rained
_ That rode us _ all the way into [G] New _ Orleans _
_ _ _ I _ _ _ pulled my _ harpoon out of my dirty red _ bandana
_ And I was playing soft while Bobby _ sang [C] the blues, _ _ yeah _
_ _ _ When she whopper slapped me in [G] time
I was holding Bobby's hand in mine
_ [D] We sang every song that daddy _ _ knew _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [C] _
_ _ Freedom's just another _ [G] word for nothing left to _ lose
_ _ [D] _
Nothing, don't mean nothing, honey, if it ain't _ _ free _ _ _ _ _
[C] And _ feeling good was easy, [G] love, _ _ Bobby sang the blues
And _
[D] feeling good was good enough for me _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ Good enough for me and my Bobby [G] _ _ _ McGee
_ _ _ _ _ _
_ [A] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _
From the _ _ Kentucky coal mines to the _ California _ _ sun _ _ _
Bobby shared the secrets _ of [E] my _ soul _ _ _ _
_ Through _ all kinds of weather _
And through _ _ everything that we _ _ done _
Said Bobby, baby, he kept me from [A] the cold _ _ _ _
One _ _ _ day up near Salina Snow
I _ let him slip _ away
But he was looking for that home
And [Em] I [D] hope he _ finds it _
_ But I trade all of my _ tomorrows
[G] For one [A] single _ _ yesterday _
To [E] be holding _ _ Bobby's body _ next to _ mine _ _
_ _ _ _ [Em] _ _
[D] _ Freedom's just another word [E] for [A] _
nothing left to _ lose
[Em] _ _ [E] Nothing, _ _ _ that's all that's _ [A] _ left to me, _ _ yeah
_ [Em] _
_ [D] _ Feeling good was easy, [G] love, [A] _
_ Bobby sang the blues
_ [E] _ And feeling _ good was good enough for me _
_ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ Good _ enough for me and my Bobby [A] _ _ _ McGee _
