[C]
[G]
[C]
Rusted flat and battened roof, getting parked train, feeling nearly faded as [G] my jeans,
popping on the diesel down just before rain, took us all away to [C] New Orleans.
I pulled my harpoon out of my dirty red bandana, I was glowing sad while Bobby [F] sang the blues.
With them windshield wipers slapping [C] time and Bobby clapping hands, we [G] finally sang up
every song that [C] driver knew.
[F] Freedom's just another [C] word for nothing left to lose.
[G] Nothing ain't worth nothing [C] but it's free.
[F] Feeling good was easy [C] work when Bobby sang the blues.
[G] Feeling good was good enough for me, good enough for me and [C] Bobby would be.
[D] From the coal mines of Kentucky to the California sun, Bobby shared the secrets [A] of my soul.
Standing right beside me Lord through everything I've done, every night she'd keep me [D] from the cold.
And then one day near Salinas, Lord I let her slip away, searching for the home I [G] hope she'll find.
And I trade all my tomorrows [D] for one single yesterday, [A] holding Bobby's body [D] close to mine.
[G] Freedom's just another [D] word for nothing left to lose.
[A] Nothing ain't worth nothing [D] but it's free.
[G] Feeling good was easy [D] Lord when Bobby sang the blues.
[A]
Buddy that was good enough for me and Waylon and Johnny and Willie.
Good enough for me [D] and Bobby would be.
[G] [A] Love [D] him Bobby.
[G]
[D] [A]
[D] [G] Freedom's just another [D] word for nothing left to lose.
[A] Nothing ain't worth nothing [D] but it's free.
And it don't cost [G] nothing.
Feeling good was easy [D] Lord when Bobby sang the blues.
[A] Buddy that was good enough for me.
Good enough for me [D] and Bobby would be.
