Four years of hard work!

This month of May we celebrated four years on the air. We continue working on the dissemination of this wonderful instrument, thank you for participating in our story!

[Verse]
A
Busted flat in Baton Rouge, headin' for the train
E
Feelin' nearly faded as my jeans

Bobby thumbed a diesel down,

Just before it rained
A
Took us all the way to New Orleans
A
I took my harpoon out of my dirty red bandanna
D
And was blowing sad while Bobby sang the blues

With those windshield wipers slappin' time
A
And Bobby clappin' hands
E A
We finally sang up every song that driver knew

[Chorus]
D A
Freedom's just another word for nothin' left to lose
E A
Nothin' ain't worth nothin' but it's free
D A
Feeling good was easy Lord when Bobby sang the blues
E
Feeling good was good enough for me
A
Good enough for me and Bobby McGee

[Verse]
A
From the coal mines of Kentucky to the California sun
E
Bobby shared the secrets of my soul

Standin' right beside me Lord

Through everything I've done
A
And every night she kept me from the cold
A
Then somewhere near Salinas Lord I let her slip away
A D
Lookin' for the home I hope she'll find

And I'd trade all of my tomorrows
A
For a single yesterday
E A
Holdin' Bobby's body next to mine

[Chorus]
D A
Freedom's just another word for nothin' left to lose
E A
Nothin' ain't worth nothin' but it's free
D A
Feeling good was easy Lord when Bobby sang the blues
E
Feeling good was good enough for me
A
Good enough for me and Bobby McGee
