[Verse]
G
Busted flat in Baton Rouge
G
Waitin' for the train
GD
Feelin' nearly faded as my jeans
D7
Bobby thumbed a diesel down
D
Just before it rained
DG
Rode us all the way to New Orleans
G
I pulled my harpoon out of my dirty red bandanna
GG7
I was playing soft
G7C
While Bobby sang the blues yeah
C
Windshield wipers slappin' time
G
I was holdin' Bobby's hand in mine
DD7
We sang every song that driver knew
CG
Freedom's just another word for nothin' left to lose
DG
Nothin' it ain't nothin'honey, it aint free Yeah
C
Feelin' good was easy, Lord, Oh
G
When he sang the blues
D
And feelin' good was good enough for me Oh Oh
D7GA
Good enough for me and Bobby McGee

From Kentucky coal mines

To the California sun
AE7
Bobby shared the secrets of my soul
E7
Through all kinds of weather,
E7
Through everything we’ve done
E7A
Bobby baby kept me from the cold
[Verse]
A
One day near Salinas, Lord
A
I let him slip away
AD
He’s lookin' for the home I hope he'll find it
D
But I'd trade all of my tomorrows
A
For that one single yesterday
E7
To be holdin' Bobby's body next to mine
DA
Freedom's just another word for nothin' left to lose
E7A
Nothin' well its all that Bobby left me Yeah
D
Feelin good was easy, Lord
