[C]
Busted flat and bad and ruched, waiting for the train, feeling nearly faded as [G] my jeans.
Bobby thumbed the diesel down just before it rained, that took us all the way [C] to New Orleans.
I pulled my harpoon out of my dirty red bandana, was blowing sad while Bobby sang [F] the blues.
With them windshield wipers slapping time [C] and Bobby clapping hands, we finally [G] sang up every song [C] that drive a new.
[F] Freedom's just another word [C] for nothing left to lose, [G] nothing ain't worth nothing but [C] it's free.
[F] Feeling good was easy [C] Lord when Bobby sang the blues, [G] feeling good was good enough for me, good enough for me and [C] Bobby McGee.
[D] From the coal mines of Kentucky to the California sun, Bobby shaved the secrets of [A] my soul.
[Em] Standing right beside me [A] Lord through everything I've done, [Em] every [A] night she kept me [D] from the cold.
Then somewhere near Salinas Lord I let her slip away, looking for the home I'd [G] hoped she'd find.
I'd trade all my tomorrows [D] for a single yesterday, [A] all in Bobby's body [D] next to mine.
[G] Freedom's just another word [D] for nothing left to lose, [A] nothing ain't worth nothing [D] but it's free.
[G] Feeling good was easy [D] Lord when Bobby sang the blues, [A] feeling good was good enough for me, good enough for me and [D] Bobby McGee.
