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
