Busted flat in Baton Rouge and heading for the trains
nearly faded is my [E] jeans
Bobby thumbed a diesel down just before it rained
all away to New [A] Orleans
I took my heartbone out of my dirty red bandana
[Bm] [A] Yeah.

It's a country song.

_ _ _ _ _ Busted flat in Baton Rouge and heading for the trains
_ _ _ Feeling nearly faded is my [E] jeans _
_ _ _ _ _ Bobby thumbed a diesel down just before it rained
Took _ us all away to New [A] Orleans _ _
I _ _ _ took my heartbone out of my dirty red _ bandana
And was blowing sad while Bobby sang the [D] blues _
_ _ With them windshield wipers slapped in [A] time
And Bobby clapping hands
We [E] finally sang or fell the song that driver [A] knew _ _
_ [B] _ [C] _ [C#m] _ [D] _ _ Freedom's just another word [A] for nothing left to lose
_ [E] _ Nothing ain't worth nothing [A] but it's free _
_ _ _ _ [D] _ Feeling good was easy, Lord, [A] when Bobby sang the blues
_ _ [E] Feeling _ good was good enough for me _ _
_ _ _ _ _ Good enough for me and Bobby [A] McGee _ _
_ _ _ _ [B] _ _ _ _
_ _ From the coal mines of Kentucky to the California _ sun
_ Bobby _ _ shared the secrets of [F#] my soul _
_ _ _ _ _ Standing right beside me, Lord, _ everything I've done
_ _ _ Every night she kept me [B] from the cold _
Then _ _ somewhere near Salinas, Lord, I let her slip away
_ Looking _ [E] [B] for the home I hoped [E] she'll _ find
_ And I'd trade all my _ tomorrows for [B] a single _ yesterday
_ _ [F#] Holding _ Bobby's body next [B] to mine _ _
_ [D] _ _ [D#] _ [E] _ _ Freedom's just another word [B] for nothing left to lose
_ _ [F#] _ Nothing left is all she left [B] for me _ _
[D#] Feeling _ _ [E] _ _ good was easy, Lord, [B] when Bobby sang the blues
_ [F#] _ But if that was good enough for me _
Good _ _ _ _ _ enough for me and Bobby [B] _ McGee _
