[D] [C]
[E]
[A]
[G]
Busted flat in Van Rusch, waiting for a train
When I see the news faded as [D] my jeans
Bobby found a diesel dam just before it rained
And rode us all the way [G] to New Orleans
I pulled my harpoon out of my dirty red bandana
I slayin' soft while Bobby [C] sang the blues
When she walked through sleeping [G] time I told Bobby's hand
That [D] he sang every song that daddy knew
[C] Freedom's just another word [G] for nothing left to lose
[D] Nothing, honey, if it [G] ain't free
Yeah, [C] feeling good was easy [G] love when he sang the blues
[D] You know, feeling good was good enough for me
Enough for me and my [G] Bobby
From [A]
the Kentucky coal mine to the California sun
Yeah, Bobby shared the secrets [E] of my soul
Through all kinds of weather, through everything that we've done
You, Bobby, baby, kept me [A] from the world
One day I'm near Salinas, and I'll let him slip away
He's looking for that home, [D] and I hope he finds it
When I trade all of my tomorrows [A] for one single yesterday
[E] To be holding Bobby's body next to mine
[D] Freedom's just another [A] word for nothing left to lose
[E] Nothing, that's all that [A] Bobby left me
[D] But feeling good was easy [A] love when he sang the blues
[E] Hey, feeling good was good enough for me
Good enough for me and my [A] Bobby
[E]
[A]
Bobby [E] McGee, yeah
Bobby
[A] McGee
I'm gonna get the best I can, come on.
Let it bop, now.
Let it bop with the [E] beat, [Em] yeah.
[E] Oh, oh, [F#] oh.
