Busted flat in Baton Rouge, headin' for the trains

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 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

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

Feelin' good was easy Lord when Bobby sang the blues

Feelin' good was good enough for me, Bobby McGee

From the coal mines of Kentucky to the California sun

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

Then somewhere near Salinas Lord I let her slip away

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

Freedom's just another word for nothin' left to lose
A D D9
Nothin' left is all she left for me, whoa

Feelin' good was easy Lord when Bobby sang the blues
