Introdução:
D
Busted flat in Baton rouge, headin' for the trains
A
Feelin' nearly faded as my jeans
A
Bobby thumbed a diesel down, just before it rained
A7 D
Took us all the way to New Orleans
D
I took my harpoon out of my dirty red bandanna
D7 G
I was blowin' sad while Bobby sang the blues
G6 G D
With them windshield wipers slappin' time and Bobby clappin' hands
A A7 D
We finally sang up every song that driver knew
G G6 G D
Freedom's just another word for nothin' left to lose
A A7 D
And nothin' ain't worth nothin' but it's free
G G6 G D
Feelin' good was easy, Lord when Bobby sang the blues
A A7 D
And feelin' good was good enough for me and Bobby McGee
D
From the coal mines of Kentucky, to the California sun
A
Bobby shared the secrets of my soul
A
Standin' right beside me, through everything I've done
A7 D
And every night he kept me from the cold
D
Then somewhere near Salinas, I let him slip away
D7 G
Lookin' for the home I hope he'll find
G6 G D
And I'll trade all my tomorrows for a single yesterday
A A7 D
Holdin' Bobby's body next to mine
G G6 G D
Freedom's just another word for nothin' left to lose
A A7 D
And nothin' ain't worth nothin' but it's free
G G6 G D
Ah, feelin' good was easy, Lord when Bobby sang the blues
A A7 D
Feelin good was good enough for me and Bobby
