[Bb]
Busted flat and batten roof, heading for the train,
feeling nearly faded as [F] my [Bb] jeans.
[F]
Bobby pumped a diesel down just before it rained,
[Bb] [F] took us all away to [Bb] New Orleans.
I took my heart and out of my dirty room,
and I was blowing sad while Bobby [Eb] sang the blues.
With them windshield wipers slapping time [Bb] in,
Bobby clapping hands, we finally [F] sang a hell of a song
that drive [Bb] a loon.
[Eb] Freedom's just another [Bb] word for nothing left to loon.
[F] Nothing ain't worth nothing, but [Bb] it's free.
[Eb] Feeling good was easy, Lord, [Bb] when Bobby sang the blues.
[F] Feeling good was good enough for me, good enough for me,
[Bb] Bobby McGee.
[C]
Bobby pulled my love Kentucky [B] [C] to the California sun.
Bobby's chassis, [G]
standing right beside me,
holding everything I've done, everything I did [C] carry from home.
Letting some madness hurt us, Lord, I'll let it slip away.
Looking for a home I walked [F] too fast,
and I'd trade all my tomorrows for [C] one single yesterday.
[G] Holding Bobby's body [C] close to mine.
[Gm] [F] Freedom's just another [C] word for nothing left to loon.
[G] Nothing ain't worth nothing, but [C] it's free.
[F] Feeling good was easy, [C] Lord, when Bobby sang the blues.
[G] But if I was good enough for me, good enough for me,
Bobby [C] McGee.
Take me one more time.
