[E]
[A] I'm going to
[F#m] [D]
[A] [E]
[A] sing a song called,
Dusty Flattened [D] Batten [A] Roof.
I headed [E] for the train,
[A]
Feeling nearly faded as [E] my jean,
Bobby thumbed the diesel down,
Just before it rang,
Took us all away to New [A] Orleans,
[Bm] [A] I took my harpoon out of my dirty red [Bm] bandana,
[A] And was blowing sad while Bobby sang [D] the blues,
And with the windchill wipers slapping time,
[A] And Bobby clapping hands,
We finally [E] sang every [C#m] song that [A] driver knew,
[D]
Freedom's just another word [A] for nothing left to lose,
[F#m] [E]
Nothing ain't worth [A] nothing but it's free,
[F#m] [D]
Feeling good was easy Lord, [A] when Bobby sang the blues,
[E]
And buddy that was good enough for me,
[A] [E]
Good enough [F#m] for me [G] and Bobby [A] McGee,
[E]
[C#m] [E] [A]
From [D]
[A] [E]
[A] the coal mines of Kentucky,
To the California sun,
Bobby shared the secrets of [E] my soul,
Standing right beside me Lord,
Everything I'd done,
And every night she kept me [A] from the cold,
And somewhere near Salinas Lord,
I let her slip away,
Looking for the home I hoped [D] she would find,
And I'd trade all of my tomorrows,
[A] For a [D] single [A] yesterday,
[E] Holding Bobby's body [A] next to [D] mine,
Freedom's just another word for [A] nothing left to lose,
[E]
Nothing ain't worth nothing but [A] it's free,
[A#] [B] [D]
Feeling good was easy Lord, [A] when Bobby sang [G#] the blues,
