[G] I'm sure you can.
Help me.
[C] [G]
Busted flat in Baton Rouge, waiting for a train.
When I spill the nearest faded [D] as my jeans.
Bobby thumbed a diesel down just before it rained.
And rode us all the way to [G] New Orleans.
[G] I pour my heart out of my dirty red bandana.
I was playing soft.
Hope I'll be singing [C] the blues tonight.
Fresh air, white birds, laughing [G] time.
I was home.
Bobby's standing by.
[D] And we sang every song that Bobby knew.
[C] Freedom's just another [G] word.
Oh, nothing left to lose.
[D] Nothing, ain't nothing on [G] every day free.
[C] The feeling good was easy [G] love when they sang the blues.
You know, [D] feeling good was good enough for me.
Good enough for me and [G] my Bobby McGee.
[A]
From the Kentucky coal mine to the California sun,
Bobby shared the secrets of [E] my soul.
Through all kinds of weather and everything we've done,
your Bobby man kept [F#] me from [A]
home.
One day I'm nestled in his arms.
Let him slip away.
He's looking for that home that I hope [D] he finds there.
Because I'll trade all my tomorrow [A]
day
[E] to be holding Bobby's body next to [Bm] mine.
[D] Freedom's just another [A] word.
Oh, nothing left to lose.
[E] Nothing, and it's all about [A]
me.
[D] The feeling good was easy [A] love when they sang the blues.
[E] You know, feeling good was good enough for me.
Yeah.
Oh, nothing left for me and my [A] Bobby McGee.
La-de-da, la-de-da, la-de-da-de-da-da.
La-de-da-de-da-da-da, [E] Bobby McGee.
