[Intro]
A
[Verse 1]
A E7
Busted flat in Baton Rouge headin' for the trains feelin' nearly faded as my jeans
A
Bobby thumbed a diesel down just before it rained it took us all the way to New Orleans
A
I pulled my ol' har'poon out of my dirty red bandana
D
I blowed it low while Bobby sang the blues
D
With them windshield wipers slappin' time
A E7 A
Bobby clappin' hands we finally sang up ever song that driver knew
[Chorus]
D A
Freedom's just another word for nothin' left to lose
E7 A
And nothin' ain't worth nothin' but it's free
D A
Yeah feeling good was easy Lord when Bobby sang the blues
E7 A7 C
And buddy that was good enough for me it was good enough for me and Bobby McGee
[Verse 2]
C
From the coal mines of Kentucky to the California sun
G7
Bobby shared the secrets of my soul
G7
Standin' right beside me Lord through everything I done
C
And every night she kept me from the cold
C
Then somewhere near Salinas Lord I let her slip away
G7 C7 F
Lookin' for the home I hope she'll find
C G7 C
I'd trade all of my tomorrows for a single yesterday holding her good body close to mine
[Chorus]
F C
Freedom's just another word for nothin' left to lose
G7 C
And nothin' left is all she left for me
F C
Feeling good was easy Lord when Bobby sang the blues
G7 C
And buddy that was good enough for me, yeah good enough for me and my Bobby McGee
[Outro]
