Bust-ed flat in Ba-ton Rouge head-in' for the trains

  5   6    6  5   -5  5 -4  4  -4
feel-in' near-ly fad-ed as my jeans

-5  5     -5   5  -5  5   -4   -5   5  -5   5  -4
Bob-by thumbed a die-sel down just be-fore it rained

 -5   5  -5  -5  5  -4  4  -4   5
took us all the way to New Or-leans

6  6   6   6   6   -5  5  -5  6  6    6   6  -5  5
I took my har-poon out of my dir-ty, red ban-dan-a

 5   -5    6   6   6   -6   -7  -7   6   5   -5
and  was blow-in. sad while Bob-by sang the blues

 -6   -7    7     7    7   7    7  -7    -6
With them wind-shield wip-ers slap-pin' time,
  
-5   6  -5   5  -5     6    5  -5  5  
And Bob-by clap-pin. hands we fin-.ly

-4   -4  -4  5  -5  -4     4  -3  4
sang up ev-.ry song that driv-er knew
 
chorus-

  7    7     7   7  7  -7  -6  -6   6   -5    5  -5  6
Free-dom's just an-oth-er word for noth-in' left to lose

 -5  -5   -5     -5    5   4   4  -4     5
Noth-in' ain.t worth noth-in' but it.s free

 7  7     7   7  7  -7  -6      -5  6  -5  5   -5    6
Feelin' good was ea-sy, Lord, when Bob-by sang the blues

-4  -4  -4    -4   5   -5  -4  -4  -4  -3
And feel-in' good was good e-nough for me

 -5  -5  -5   5  -4  -4  -4  4  -3  4
Good e-nough for me and  Bob-by Mc-Gee

verse 2.

From the Kentucky coal mines
to the California sun
Bobby shared the secrets of my soul
Through all kinds of weather
and through everything that we done
I said Bobby baby, he kept me from the cold
One day up near Salinas, Lord,
I let him slip away
He was lookin' for that home,
and I hope he finds it
But I'd trade all my tomorrows
for one single yesterday
To be holding Bobby's body next to mine
