Introduction:
A
Busted flat in Baton Rouge, mmm, headin' for the trains
A E7
Feelin' nearly faded as my jeans
E7
Bobby thumbed a diesel down just before it rained
E7 A
Took us all the way to New Orleans
A
I took my harpoon out of my dirty red bandana
A D
And was blowin' sad while Bobby sang the blues
D A
With them windshield wipers slappin' time and Bobby clappin' hands we finally
E7 A
Sang up every song that driver knew
D A
Freedom's just another word for nothin' left to lose
E7 A
Nothin' ain't worth nothin' but it's free
D A
Feelin' good was easy, Lord, when Bobby sang the blues
E7
Feeling good was good enough for me
E7 A
Good enough for me and my Bobby McGee
B
From the coal mines of Kentucky to the California sun
B F#7
Bobby shared the secrets of my soul
F#7
Standin' right beside me, Lord, through everything I done
F#7 B
Every night she kept me from the cold
B
Then somewhere near Salinas, Lord, I let her slip away
B E
lookin' for the home I hope she'll find
E B
And I'd trade all my tomorrows for a single yesterday
F#7 B
Holdin' Bobby's body next to mine
E B
Freedom's just another word for nothin' left to lose
F#7 B
Nothin' left is all she left for me

Feelin' good was easy, Lord, when Bobby sang the blues
