C  G

[Verse 1]
C
Busted flat in Baton Rouge headed for the trains
C                          G 
Feelin' nearly faded as my jeans
G
Bobby thumbed a diesel down just before it rained
                             C
Took us all the way to New Orleans
C
I took my har'poon out of my dirty red bandanna
                                        F
I was Blowing' sad while Bobby sang the blues
          F
With them windshield wipers slappin' time
    C
And Bobby clappin' hands
           G                             C
We finally sang up ever song that driver knew


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


[Verse 2]
D
From the coal mines of Kentucky to the California sun
                               A
Bobby shared the secrets of my soul
A
Standin' right beside me Lord through everything I done
                                   D
Every night she'd keep me from the cold
         D  
And then one day near Salinas Lord I let it slipped away
                                      G
Searching' for the home I hope you'll find
                                       D
And I'd trade all my tomorrows for one single yesterday
A                             D
Holding Bobby's body close to mine


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


[Bridge]
D  A  D  G  D  A  D


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