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

[F#]
Buddy, that was good enough for me, good enough for me and Bobby [B] McGee.
La-la-la, lalala, la-la-la me [F#] and Bobby McGee.
La -la-la, la-la-la, la-la-la me and Bobby [B] McGee.
La-la-la, la-la-la, la-la-la me and Bobby [F#] McGee.
La-la-la, la-la-la, la-la-la me and [B] Bobby McGee.
