_ Busted flat in Baton Rouge, waiting for a train.
I see the news faded as
D my jeans.
_ Bobby thumbed a diesel down just before it rained.
That rode us all the way into
G New Orleans.
I pulled my harpoon out of my dirty red bandana.
And I was playing soft while Bobby
C sang the blues.
_ When she whopper slapped me
G time, I was holding Bobby's hand in mine.
D We sang every song that daddy knew.
_ _
C _ Freedom's just another
G word for nothing left to lose.
D Nothing, don't mean nothing,
G honey, if it ain't free.
_
C And feeling good was
G easy, Lord, Bobby sang the blues.
D And feeling good was good enough for me.
Mm-hmm, good enough for me
G and my Bobby McGee.
_
A _ _ _ From the Kentucky coal mines to the California sun.
Bobby shared the secrets
E of my soul.
Through all kinds of weather and through everything that we done.
Said Bobby, baby, he kept me
A from the cold.
_ One day up near Salina Snowhorn, I let him slip away.
But he was looking for that home and
D I hope he finds it.
But I trade all of my tomorrows
G for one
A single yesterday.
E To be holding Bobby's body next to mine.

Freedom's just another word

Nothing, that's all

I said feeling good was good enough for me.
Mm-hmm, good enough for me and my

_ La-da-da, la-da-da, la-da-da, _ la-da-da, _
