[G] [C]
[G] Busted flat in Baton Rouge, waiting for a train
And I feel the nearest faded [D] as my jean
Bobby thumbed a diesel down just before it rained
And rode us all the way [G] to New Orleans
Hot old knocker, had a man in soft white body
[C] Sang the blues, yeah
Windshield wipers slapping time, [G] I was holding Bobby's candy man
[D] He sang every song that Davin knew
[C] Freedom's just another word [G] for nothing left to lose
[D] Nothing, honey, if [G] it ain't free
[C] Yeah, feeling good was easy [G] when he sang the blues
[D] You know, feeling good was good enough for me
Good enough for me and my [G] Bobby McGee
[A] From the Kentucky coal mine to the California sun
Hey Bobby shared the secrets [E] of my soul
Through all kinds of weather, through everything we've done
Your Bobby baby kept me [A] from the cold
One day I'm near Salinas lawn, I let him slip away
He's looking for that home and [D] I hope he finds it
But I trade all of my tomorrows [A] for one single yesterday
[E] To be holding Bobby's body next to [D] mine
Freedom's just another [A] word for nothing left to lose
[E] Nothing, that's all that [A] Bobby left me
[D] But feeling good was easy now [A] when he sang the blues
[E] Hey, feeling good was good enough for me
[A] [E] Good enough for me [A] and my Bobby McGee
