[Intro]

G G - C C G G - C C G G - C C G G - C C


[Verse 1]

G G G G G G G G
Busted flat in Baton Rouge, waitin' for a train
G G G G D7 D7 D7 D7
When I's feelin' near as faded as my jeans
D7 D7 D7 D7 D7 D7 D7 D7
Bobby thumbed a diesel down just before it rained
D7 D7 D7 D7 G G - C C G G
And rode us all the way into New Orleans

G G G G G G G G
I pulled my harpoon out of my dirty red bandana
G G G7 G7 C C C C
I's playin' soft while Bobby sang the blues
C C C C G G G G
Windshield wipers slappin' time, I was holdin' Bobby's hand in mine
D7 D7 D7 D7 D7 D7 D7 D7
We sang every song that driver knew


[Chorus]

C C C C G G G G
Freedom's just another word for nothin' left to lose
D7 D7 D7 D7 G G G G
Nothin', it ain't nothin' honey, if it ain't free
C C C C G G G G
And feelin' good was easy, lord, oh, when he sang the blues
D7 D7 D7 D7 D7 D7 D7 D7
You know feelin' good was good enough for me
D7 D7 D7 D7 G G G G A A A A
Good enough for me and my Bobby McGee


[Verse 2]

A A A A A A A A
>From the Kentucky coal mines to the California sun
A A A A E7 E7 E7 E7
Yeah Bobby shared the secrets of my soul
E7 E7 E7 E7 E7 E7 E7 E7
Through all kinds of weather, through everything we done
E7 E7 E7 E7 A A A A
Yeah Bobby baby kept me from the cold

A A A A A A A A
One day up near Salinas, lo-ord, I let him slip away
A A A7 A7 D D D D
He's lookin' for that home and I hope he finds it
D D D D A A A A
Well I'd trade all my tomorrows for one single yesterday
E7 E7 E7 E7 E7 E7 E7 E7
To be holdin' Bobby's body next to mine


[Chorus]

D D D D A A A A
Freedom's just another word for nothin' left to lose
E7 E7 E7 E7 A A A A
Nothin', and that's all that Bobby left me
D D D D A A A A
Well, feelin' good was easy, lo-o-ord, when he sang the blues
E7 E7 E7 E7 E7 E7 E7 E7
And feelin' good was good enough for me
E7 E7 E7 E7 A A A A
Good enough for me and my Bobby McGee yeah
