[G]
Busted flat in Baton Rouge, waiting for a train
And I feel the nearest faded as [D] my jeans
Bobby thumbed a diesel down just before it rained
And rode us all the way to [G] New Orleans
I pulled my harpoon out of my dirty red bandana
I sang soft while Bobby [C] sang the blues
Windshield wipers slapping time, [G] I was holding Bobby's candy [D] man
We sang every song that daddy knew
[C] Freedom's just another word [G] for nothing left to lose
[D] Nothing, I mean nothing, honey, [G] if it ain't free
Yeah, [C] feeling good was easy, [G] darling, 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
[A]
Hey, Bobby shared the secrets of [E] my soul
Through all kinds of weather, through everything we've done
[A] Your Bobby baby [E] kept [A] me from the cold
One day up near Salina's snow hole, I let him slip away
He's looking for that home [D] and I hope he finds it
When I train on a mountain, [A] for one single yesterday
[E] To be holding Bobby's body next to [Bm] mine
[D] Freedom's just another word [A] for nothing left to lose
[E] Nothing, that's all that [A]
left me
[D] But feeling good was [A] easy, darling, when he sang the blues
[E] Hey, feeling good was good enough for me
