took us all the way to New Or (C6)leans.

Then (C)I took my har poon out of my dirt y, red ban dan na and was blow in’ sad while (C7)Bob by sang the (F)blues.

And With them wind shield wip ers slap pin’ time and (C)Bob by clap pin’ hands, we fi n’lly (G7)sang up ev ’ry song that driv er (C)knew.

Free dom’s just an oth er word for (C)noth in’ left to lose.

Noth in’ ain’t worth noth in’, but it’s (C)free.

Feel in’ good was eas y, Lord, when Bob by sang the blues;

and feel in’ good was good e nough for me,

Feel in’ good was eas y, Lord, when Bob by sang the blues;

And, bud dy, that was good e nough for me,

good e nough for me and Bob by Mc (C)Gee.
