_ _ _ _ What's the plan? _ _
It's called trying _ to be [A] a man.
I _ _ will call you down just before
rain took us all away to [D] New Orleans.
_ _ I pull my heart out of my dirty red [Bm] bandana.
I was blowing [D] sad while Bobby [G] sang blues.
_ But now the windshield wipers
slapping [D] time and Bobby clapping
hands [A] we finally sang off every
song [D] that drive moved.
_ _ [G] _ Freedom's just another [D] word for
nothing left to lose.
[A] _ Nothing ain't worth nothing but [D] it's free.
_ _ [G] _ Feeling good was easy, [D] Lord, when
Bobby sang the [A] blues.
Feeling good was good enough for me.
_ _ _ Good enough for me, [D] Bobby McGee.
_ From the coal mines of Kentucky
to the California sun.
_ Bobby shared the secrets of my soul.
_ [A] _ _ Standing right beside me, Lord,
everything I'd done.
_ Every night she kept [D] me from the cold.
_ Then somewhere near Salinas, Lord,
I let it slip away.
_ Looking for the home I hoped [G] to find.
And I'd trade all my [D] tomorrows for
one single yesterday.
[A] _ Holding Bobby, Bobby, [D] there's the mind.
_ _ [G] _ Freedom's just another [D] word for
nothing left to lose.
[A] _ Nothing ain't worth [D] nothing but it's free.
_ _ _ [G] Feeling good was easy, Lord, [D] when
Bobby sang the blues.
_ [A] Buddy, that was good enough for me.
_ _ _ Good enough for me, Bobby [D] McGee. _ _ _ _ _ _ _
