[Em] [Am] [D]
[G] [C] [G]
Busted flat in Baton Rouge, waiting for a train
And I see the news faded as [D] my jeans
Bobby thumbed a diesel down just before it rained
That rode us all the way to [G] New Orleans
I pulled my harpoon out of my dirty red bandana
And I was playing soft while Bobby [C] sang the blues
When she whopped her slapping [G] time I was holding Bobby's handyman
[D] We sang every song that daddy knew
[C] Freedom's just another [G] word for nothing left to lose
[D] Nothing, don't mean nothing if it [G] ain't free
[C] And feeling good was [G] easy, Lord, Bobby sang the blues
[D] And feeling good was good enough for me
Good enough for me and my [G] Bobby McGee
From [A]
the Kentucky coal mines to the California sun
Bobby shared the secrets [E] of my soul
Through all kinds of weather and through everything that we done
Said Bobby, baby, he kept me [A] from the cold
One day up near Salina's snow, I let him slip away
But he was looking [A] for that home and [D] I hope he finds it
When I trade all of my [G] tomorrows [A] for one single yesterday
[E] To be holding Bobby's body next to mine
[Em] [D]
Freedom's just another [G] word [A] for nothing left to [Em] lose
[E] Nothing, that's all that Bobby [A] left me
[G] [D]
Feeling good was [G] easy, Lord, [A] Bobby sang the blues
[E] And feeling good was good enough for me
Good enough for me and [A] my Bobby McGee
[E]
[A]
Na, na, na, na, [E] Bobby McGee
Hey, now, Bobby, Bobby [A] McGee
Seen the cold and my love Bobby
[E] McGee
He he,
[A] Bobby McGee Yeah!
[G] [E]
