[Intro]
C   C
[Verse 1]
CBusted flat in Baton Rouge headed for the trains
Feelin' nearly faded as my Gjeans
Bobby thumbed a diesel down just before it rained
Took us all the way to New OrCleans
CI took my har'poon out of my dirty red bandana
I was playin' sad while Bobby sang the Fblues
With them windshield whipers slappin' time and CBobby clappin' hands
We finally Gsang up ever song that driver Cknew
[Chorus]
FFreedom's just another word for Cnothin' left to lose
GNothin' left is all she left for Cme
FFeeling good was easy Lord when CBobby sang the blues
GFeeling it was good enough for me good enough for me and Bobby McCGee
[Verse 2]
DFrom the coal mines of Kentucky to the California sun
DBobby shared the secrets of my Asoul
Standin' right beside me Lord through everything I done
Every night she'd keep me from the Dcold
DSomewhere near Salinas Lord Bobby slipped away
Lookin' for the home I hope she'll Gfind
I'd trade all of my tomorrows for Djust one yesterday
AHolding her body close to Dmine
[Chorus]
GFreedom's just another word for Dnothin' left to lose
ANothin' ain't worth nothin' but it's Dfree
GFeeling good was easy Lord when DBobby sang the blues
AFeeling it was good enough for me good enough for me and Bobby McDGee
