G D C A E7


G
Busted flat in Baton Rouge, waitinʼ for a train
                                  D
When Iʼs feelinʼ near as faded as my jeans
 
Bobby thumbed a diesel down just before it rained
                                 G
And rode us all the way into New Orleans
 
  G
I pulled my harpoon out of my dirty red bandana
                                      C
Iʼs playinʼ soft while Bobby sang the blues
 
Windshield wipers slappinʼ time,
G
I was holdinʼ Bobbyʼs hand in mine
D
We sang every song that driver knew

Chorus:
    C                              G
    Freedomʼs just another word for nothinʼ left to lose
    D                                            G
    Nothinʼ, it ainʼt nothinʼ honey, if it ainʼt free
        C                                G
    And feelinʼ good was easy, lord, oh, when he sang the blues
             D
    You know feelinʼ good was good enough for me
                                      G   A
    Good enough for me and my Bobby McGee

         A
From the Kentucky coal mines to the California sun
                                 E7
Yeah Bobby shared the secrets of my soul
 
Through all kinds of weather, through everything we done
                                 A
Yeah Bobby baby kept me from the cold
 
    A
One day up near Salinas, lo-ord, I let him slip away
                                         D
Heʼs lookinʼ for that home and I hope he finds it
                                        A
Well Iʼd trade all my tomorrows for one single yesterday
      E7
To be holdinʼ Bobbyʼs body next to mine

Chorus:
    D                              A
    Freedomʼs just another word for nothinʼ left to lose
    E7                                 A
    Nothinʼ, and thatʼs all that Bobby left me
          D                           A
    Well, feelinʼ good was easy, lo-o-ord, when he sang the blues
        E7
    And feelinʼ good was good enough for me
                                      A
    Good enough for me and my Bobby McGee yeah
