[C]
Busted flat and batting rooge and heading for the terrain
Feeling nearly faded [G] as my jeans
Bobby thumbed the diesel down just before it rained
Took us nearly all the way to [C] New Orleans
I took my hot burn out of my dirty red bandana
I was playing sidewalk Bobby sang the [F] blues
With them windshield wipers slapping [C] time
And Bobby clapping hands we [G] finally sang
Every song that [C] driver knew
[F] Freedom just another [C] word oh nothing left to lose
[G] Nothing ain't worth nothing [C] but 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 shared the secrets [A] of my soul
Standing right beside me Lord through everything I done
Every night you'd keep [E] me [D] from the cold
Somewhere near Salinas Lord Bobby slipped away
Looking for the home I hope [G] she'll find
I'd trade all of my tomorrows [D] for just one yesterday
[A] Holding Bobby's body [D] close to mine
[G] Freedom just another word [D] oh nothing left to lose
[A] Nothing ain't worth nothing but [D] it's free
Feeling [G] 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
