[A]
I busted flat and battin' a roof, headin' for the train, feelin' nearly faded [E] as my jeans.
Bobby thumbed a diesel down just before it rained, took us all away [A] to New Orleans.
I took my harpoon out of my dirty red bandana and was blowin' sad while Bobby [D] sang the blues.
With all the windshield wipers [E] slappin' [A] time, Bobby clappin' hands, we [E] finally sung up to every song that [A] driver knew.
[E] [D] Freedom's just another [A] word for nothin' left to lose, [E] nothin' ain't worth nothin' [A] but it's free.
[D] Feelin' good was easy, [A] Lord, when Bobby sang the blues.
[E] Feelin' good was good enough for me, good enough for me and [A] Bobby McGee.
[B] From the coal mines of Kentucky to the California sun, Bobby shared the secrets [F#] of my soul.
Standin' right beside me, Lord, through everything I've done, every night she [C#] kept me [B] from the cold.
And somewhere near Salinas, Lord, I let her slip away, searchin' for the home I [E] heard she phone.
And I'd give all my [B] tomorrows for a single yesterday, [F#] holdin' Bobby's body [B] close to mine.
[E] Freedom's just another word for [B] nothin' left to lose, [F#] nothin' ain't worth nothin' [B] but it's free.
[E] Feelin' good was easy, Lord, when [B] Bobby sang the [G#m] [F#] blues.
Feelin' good was good enough for me, good enough for me and Bobby [B] McGee.
