[A]
I took my poon out of my dirty red down tanner I was blowin' sad while Bobby [D] sung me a lullaby
Bobby sang the blues With those windshield wipers slappin' [A] time
And Bobby clappin' hands that [E] finally sung every song [A] that driver knew
[D] Freedom just another word [A] for nothing left to lose
[E] Nothing ain't worth [A] nothing but it's free
Feelin' [D] 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 California soil
Bobby shared the [F#] secrets of my soul
Standin' right beside me, Lord, through everything I've done
Every night she kept [B] me from the cold
And somewhere near Salinas, Lord, I let her slip away
Lookin' for the home I [E] heard she found
And I'd give all my [B] tomorrows for a single yesterday
[F#]
Holdin' Bobby's body [B] next to mine
[E] Freedom just another [B] word for nothing left to lose
[F#]
Nothing ain't worth nothing [B] but it's free
[E]
Feelin' good was easy, [B] Lord, when Bobby sang the blues
[F#]
Buddy, that was good enough for me, good enough for me and [B] Bobby McGee
