not that I'm play that great, but still [G] and all ought to be able to hear it

[Am] [A] [G]
[C] [G]
Busted flat and bed and rushed
waiting for a train
I see the news faded [D] as my jeans
Bought me thunder diesel down
Just before it rained
That wrote us all the way [G] into New Orleans
I pulled my harpoon out of my dirty red bandana
And I was playing soft while Bobby [C] sang the blues Yeah
When she whopper slapping [G] time eyes holding Bobby's handyman
[D] We sang every song that daddy knew
[C] Freedom's just another [G] word for nothing left to lose
[D] [G]

[A] 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 [A] from the cold
One day up near Salinas, no, I let him slip away
But he was looking for that home [Em] and I hope [D] he finds it
When I trade all of my [G] tomorrows for [A] one single yesterday
[E] To be holding Bobby's body next to mine
[D] Freedom's just another [G] word [A] for nothing left to lose [Em] [E] Nothing
[A] Feeling [G] [D] good was easy
[A] Bobby sang the blues.
[E] I said Me

Good enough for me and my [A] Bobby
