(G major) (C major) (G major) (C major) (G major)
Verse 1
(G major) Busted flat in Baton Rouge,
waitin' for a train
And I's feelin' near as faded as my (D major) jeans
Bobby thumbed a diesel down,
just before it rained
It rode us all the way to New Or (G major) leans (C major) (G major)
I (G major) pulled my harpoon out of my
dirty red bandanna
I was playin' soft while
Bobby sang the (C major) blues, yeah
Windshield wipers slappin' time,
I (G major) was holdin' Bobby's hand in mine
(D major) We sang every song that driver knew

(C major) Freedom's just another word for
(G major) nothin' left to lose
(D major) Nothin', don't mean nothin' hon' if it ain't (G major) free,

And, (C major) feelin' good was easy, Lord,

Verse 2
From the (A major) Kentucky coal mine
to the California sun
There Bobby shared the secrets of my (E major) soul
Through all kinds of weather,
through everything we done
Yeah, Bobby baby kept me from the cold (A major)
One day up near Salinas, Lord,
I let him slip away
He's lookin' for that home,
and I hope he (D major) finds it
But, I'd trade all of my tomorrows,
for a (A major) single yesterday
To be (E major) holdin' Bobby's body next to mine
Chorus 2
(D major) Freedom's just another another word for
(A major) nothin' left to lose
(E major) Nothin', that's all that Bobby left (A major) me, yeah
