[G] [C] [G]
Busy flattin' down the roosh, waitin' for a train
And I still ain't nearly as fit as [D] my jeans
Bobby thumped the diesel down, just before it rained
But it's all the way to [G] New Orleans
And I pull my hopper out of my dirty red bandana
I was playin' the top while Bobby sang the [C] blues, yeah
Winter white burstin' laughin' time, [G] I was holdin' Bobby's hand in mine
[D] We'd sing every song that driver knew
[G] [D]
[C] Freedom's just another word for [G] nothing left to lose
[D] Nothing, tell [C] me nothin', [D] hunnid, but [G] I ain't free, no, no
[C] And that feelin' good was easy, Lord, [G] when you sang the blues
[D] That feelin' good was good enough for me
Good enough for me and my [G] Bobby McGee
[A] From the Kentucky [D] coal mines [A] to the California sun
Had Bobby share the secrets [E] of my soul
[Bm] Through all kinds of [A] weather, [E] through everything that we've done
Bobby, baby, kept me [A] from the cold
[D] One [A] day up near Salinas floor, I let him slip [D] away
[A] He was a-lookin' for that home, [D] and I'll be fancy
But I tread on my tomorrows, [A] for one single yesterday
To [E] be holdin' Bobby's body next to mine
[D] [E] [D] Freedom's just another [A] word for nothing left to lose
[E] Nothing, [D] and that's [E] all that [A] Bobby left me, yeah
[D] Cause that feelin' good was easy, [A] Lord, when you sang the blues
[E] That feelin' good was good enough for me
