Chords for Bobby McGee ~ Janis Joplin ~ Woodstock '69

[G] _ _ _ [C] _ [G] _ _ _ _
_ Busted flat in Van Rooch, waiting for a train
When I feel the nearest faded as [D] my jeans
Bobby thumbed a diesel down just before it rained
And rode us all the way to New [G] Orleans
I owned my heart and had my dirty red bandana
I was playing soft while Bobby sang [C] the blues
_ _ When she walked through slapping [G] time I was holding Bobby's tandem
[D] We sang every song that daddy knew
_ _ [C] Freedom is just another [G] word for nothing left to lose
[D] Nothing, honey, [G] if it ain't free
Yeah, [C]
feeling good was easy now [G] when he sang the blues
[F#] You know, feeling good was good [D] enough for me
_ Good enough for me and my Bobby [G] Red _
[A] From _ _ _ the Kentucky coal mine to the California [D] sun
[A] Bobby shared the secrets of [E] my soul
_ [E] Through all kinds of weather, through everything we've done
[A] Your Bobby, [Em] baby, kept me [A] from you for a while
One day I missed him and said, oh, I let him slip away
He's looking for that home and I hope [D] he finds it
When I trade all of my tomorrows [A] for one single yesterday
[E] To be holding Bobby's body next to [D] mine
_ Freedom is just another word [A] for nothing left to lose
[E] Nothing, that's all that Bobby [A] left me
[D] When feeling good was easy now [A] when he sang the blues
[E] Hey, feeling good was good enough for me
_ [A] _
[E] Good enough for me and my Bobby Red

_ _ _ He told him, my man, I said, I told him, my love wasn't the best I can come on
