[Intro]
| A | A | A | A |
[Verse 1]
A
Busted flat in Baton Rouge, waiting for the trains.
E7
Feeling 'bout as faded as my jeans.
E7
Bobby flagged the diesel down, just before it rained.
E A
Took us all the way to New Orleans.
A
Then I pulled my harpoon out of my dirty red bandana.
D
And was blowing sad, while Bobby sang the blues
D
With the windshield wipers slapping time.
A
And Bobby's hand in mine we finally:
E A
Sung up every song, that driver knew.
[Chorus]
D A
Freedoms just another word, for nothing left to lose.
E A
Nothing ain’t worth nothing but its free, yes it's free.
D A
Feeling good was easy Lord, while Bobby sang the blues
E
Feeling good was good enough for me, for me.
A
Good enough for me and Bobby McGee
[Verse 2]
A
From the coalmines in Kentucky to the California sun.
E
Bobby shared the secrets of my soul
E7
Standing right beside Lord, to everything I'd done.
E A
And every night she'd keep me from the cold.
A
And the one day near Salinas Lord, I let her slip away.
D
Looking for the home I'll hope she'll find.
A
And I'd trade all my tomorrows for one single yesterday.
E7 A
Holding Bobby's body next to mine.
[Chorus]
D A
Freedoms just another word, for nothing left to lose.
E A
Nothing ain’t worth nothing but it's free, but it's free.
D A
Feeling good was easy Lord, while Bobby sang the blues
E
And feeling good was good enough for me.
A A
Good enough for me and Bobby McGee.
