Busted flat in Baton Rouge, headin' for the trains   
                                            G   
Feelin' nearly faded as my jeans   
                G7 
Bobby thumbed a diesel down just before it rained   
                                                   C  G 
Took us all the way to New Orleans   
C   
I took my mouth harp out of my old dirty red bandana   
                              C7                               F   
I was playin' sad while Bobby sang the blues   
                                           C   
Those windshield wipers slappin' time and Bobby's clappin' hands we finally   
G                               C                         C7   
Sang up every song that driver knew, whoa   
F                                                                            C   
Freedom's just another word for nothin' left to lose   
G                                     C                   C7   
Nothin' ain't worth nothin' but it's free, whoa   
F                                                                                    C   
Feelin' good was easy Lord when Bobby sang the blues   
G                                      
Feelin' good was good enough for me, Bobby McGee   
D  
From the coal mines of Kentucky to the California sun   
                                                  A   
Bobby shared the secrets of my soul   
                             A7   
Standin' right beside me Lord thru everything I done   
                                      D                             A7 
And every night she kept me from the cold   
D                                                                               
Then somewhere near Salinas Lord I let her slip away   
                                    G   
Lookin' for the home I hope she'll find   
                                     D   
I'd trade all of my tomorrows for a single yesterday   
A                             D    D9   
Holdin' Bobby's body next to mine, whoa   
G                                  D   
Freedom's just another word for nothin' left to lose   
A                                D   D9   
Nothin' left is all she left for me, whoa   
G                               D   
Feelin' good was easy Lord when Bobby sang the blues   
A                                                  D9   
Feelin' good was good enough for me, Bobby McGee, whoa   
G                                 D   
Freedom's just another word for nothin' left to lose   
A                                    D     D9   
Nothin' ain't worth nothin' but it's free, whoa   
G                               D   
Feelin' good was easy Lord when Bobby sang the blues   
A                                                                                   
Feelin' good was good enough for me, Bobby McGee
