[Verse]
ABusted flat in Baton Rouge, headin' for the train
Feelin' nearly faded as my Ejeans
Bobby thumbed a diesel down,
Just before it rained
Took us all the way to New AOrleans
AI took my harpoon out of my dirty red bandanna
And was blowing sad while DBobby sang the blues
With those windshield wipers slappin' time
And ABobby clappin' hands
We finally Esang up every song that driver Aknew
[Chorus]
DFreedom's just another word for Anothin' left to lose
ENothin' ain't worth nothin' but it's Afree
DFeeling good was easy Lord when ABobby sang the blues
EFeeling good was good enough for me
Good enough for me and Bobby AMcGee
[Verse]
AFrom the coal mines of Kentucky to the California sun
Bobby shared the secrets of my sEoul
Standin' right beside me Lord
Through everything I've done
And every night she kept me from the cAold
AThen somewhere near Salinas Lord I let her slip away
Lookin' for the hAome I hope she'll fDind
And I'd trade all of my tomorrows
For a Asingle yesterday
EHoldin' Bobby's body next to mAine
[Chorus]
DFreedom's just another word for Anothin' left to lose
ENothin' ain't worth nothin' but it's Afree
DFeeling good was easy Lord when ABobby sang the blues
EFeeling good was good enough for me
Good enough for me and Bobby AMcGee

[Verse]

Busted flat in Baton Rouge, headin' for the train

Feelin' nearly faded as my jeans

Bobby thumbed a diesel down,

Just before it rained

Took us all the way to New Orleans

I took my harpoon out of my dirty red bandanna

And was blowing sad while Bobby sang the blues

With those windshield wipers slappin' time

And Bobby clappin' hands

E A

We finally sang up every song that driver knew

[Chorus]

D A

Freedom's just another word for nothin' left to lose

E A

Nothin' ain't worth nothin' but it's free

D A

Feeling good was easy Lord when Bobby sang the blues

Feeling good was good enough for me

Good enough for me and Bobby McGee

[Verse]

From the coal mines of Kentucky to the California sun

Bobby shared the secrets of my soul

Standin' right beside me Lord

Through everything I've done

And every night she kept me from the cold

Then somewhere near Salinas Lord I let her slip away

A D

Lookin' for the home I hope she'll find

And I'd trade all of my tomorrows

For a single yesterday

E A

Holdin' Bobby's body next to mine

[Chorus]

D A

Freedom's just another word for nothin' left to lose

E A

Nothin' ain't worth nothin' but it's free

D A

Feeling good was easy Lord when Bobby sang the blues

Feeling good was good enough for me

Good enough for me and Bobby McGee
