[E] Thank you so [A] much.
A little song that I like.
Busted flat in Baton Rouge
Headin' for the train Thank you!
Nearly nearly faded as my [E] jeans
Said Bobby come the diesel down
Just before it rained
And took us all the way to [A] New Orleans
[Gbm] I [A] took my cartoon
Out of a dirty red bandanna
My heart was a-thumpin'
Blowin' sad while Bobby [D] sang the blues
Them windshield wipers
Flappin' [A] time and
Bobby clappin' hands
We [E] finally sang the very song
That [A] driver knew
[Db] [D] Freedom's just another [A] word
For nothin' after you
[E] Well it ain't worth nothin'
[A] But it's free
[D] Ah but feelin' good Was easy
[A] Long time Bobby sang the blues
[E] Feelin' good
Was good [A] enough for [E] me
Good enough for me
[A] And Bobby McGee
[Bb] From the coal mines Off Kentucky
To the California sun Bobby shared
The secrets [F] of my soul
Standin' right beside me Lord
For everything I've done
And every night
He kept me [Bb] from the cold
Standin' somewhere near Selena's Lord
Or let us slip away
Lookin' for the home
I called [Eb] you mine
I'd trade all my Tomorrows
[Bb] For a single yesterday [F] Holdin'
Bobby's [A] body [Bb] next to mine
[D] [Eb] Freedom's just another [Bb] word
For nothin' after me
[F] Nothin' left is all
She [Bb] left for me
Ah [Eb] but feelin' good Was easy
[Bb] Long time Bobby sang the blues
[F] Buddy that was good enough for me
Good enough for me
And Bobby [Bb] McGee
