C
Busted flat in Baton Rouge, headin' for the train
G7
Feelin' nearly faded as my jeans
Bobby thumbed a diesel down,
Just before it rained
C
Took us all the way to New Orleans
C
I took my harp on out of my dirty red bandanna
C7F
And was blowing sad while Bobby sang the blues
With those windshield wipers slappin' time
C
And Bobby clappin' hands
G7C
We finally sang up every song that driver knew
FC
Freedom's just another word for nothin' left to lose
G7C
Nothin' ain't worth nothin' but it's free
FC
Feeling good was easy Lord when Bobby sang the blues
G7
Feeling good was good enough for me
C
Good enough for me and Bobby McGee
C
From the coal mines of Kentucky to the California sun
G
Bobby shared the secrets of my soul
Standin' right beside me Lord
Through everything I've done
C
And every night she kept me from the cold
FC
Freedom's just another word for nothin' left to lose
G7C
Nothin' ain't worth nothin' but it's free
FC
Feeling good was easy Lord when Bobby sang the blues
G7
Feeling good was good enough for me
C
Good enough for me and Bobby McGee
C
Then somewhere near Salinas Lord I let her slip away
C7F
Lookin' for the home I hope she'll find
And I'd trade all of my tomorrows
C
For a single yesterday
G7C
Holdin' Bobby's body next to mine
FC
Freedom's just another word for nothin' left to lose
G7C
Nothin' left is all she left for me
FC
Feeling good was easy Lord when Bobby sang the blues
G7
And buddy that was good enough for me
C
Good enough for me and Bobby McGee
FC
Freedom's just another word for nothin' left to lose
G7C
Nothin' ain't worth nothin' but it's free
FC
Feeling good was easy Lord when Bobby sang the blues
G7
Feeling good was good enough for me
C
Good enough for me and Bobby McGee
