Verse1:


  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



Chorus1:


  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



Verse2:


           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



Chorus2:


  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
