A
[Verse 1]
A
Busted flat in Baton Rouge and headin' for the trains
E Em E
Feelin' nearly faded as my jeans
Em E
Bobby thumbed a diesel down
Em E
Just before it rained
A
Took us all the way to New Orleans
[Verse 2]
A
And I took out my harpoon out of my dirty red bandana
A7 D
And was blowin sad while Bobby sang the blues
A
With them windshield wipers slappin' time and
E A
Bobby clappin' hands with we finally sang every song that driver knew
[Chorus 1]
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
Feelin' good was easy, Lord, when Bobby sang the blues
E
Buddy, that was good enough for me
A
Good enough for me and Bobby McGee
[Verse 3]
(Move capo up to 5th Fret)
A
From the coal mines of Kentucky to the California sun
E Em E
Bobby shared the secrets of my soul
Em E
Standin' right beside me, Lord through everything I done
A
And every night she kept me from the cold
Then somewhere near Salinas, Lord I let her slip away
D
Lookin' for the home I hope she'll find
A
And I'd trade all of my tomorrows for one single yesterday
E A
Holdin' Bobby's body next to mine
[Chorus 2]
D A
Freedom's just another word for nothin' left to lose
E A
Nothin' ain't worth nothing, but it's free
D A
Hey, hey, Feelin' good was easy, Lord when bobby sang the blues
E
And feeling good was good enough for me
A
Good enough for me and Bobby McGee
