[Em] [Am] [A] [D] .
[G] [C] [G] .
Busted flat in Baton Rouge, waiting for a train.
I see the news faded as [D] my jeans.
Bobby thumbed a diesel down just before it rained.
That rode us all the way into [G] New Orleans.
I pulled my harpoon out of my dirty red bandana.
And I was playing soft while Bobby [C] sang the blues.
When she whopper slapped me [G] time, I was holding Bobby's hand in mine.
[D] We sang every song that daddy knew.
[C] Freedom's just another [G] word for nothing left to lose.
[D] Nothing, don't mean nothing, [G] honey, if it ain't free.
[C] And feeling good was [G] easy, Lord, Bobby sang the blues.
[D] And feeling good was good enough for me.
Mm-hmm, good enough for me [G] and my Bobby McGee.
[A] From the Kentucky coal mines to the California sun.
Bobby shared the secrets [E] of my soul.
Through all kinds of weather and through everything that we done.
Said Bobby, baby, he kept me [A] from the cold.
One day up near Salina Snowhorn, I let him slip away.
But he was looking for that home and [D] I hope he finds it.
But I trade all of my tomorrows [G] for one [A] single yesterday.
[E] To be holding Bobby's body next to mine.
[D].
Freedom's just another word [A] for nothing left to [Em] lose.
[E].
Nothing, that's all [A] that's left to me.
[G] [D].
Feeling good was [G] easy, Lord, [A] Bobby sang the [E] blues.
I said feeling good was good enough for me.
Mm-hmm, good enough for me and my [A] Bobby McGee.
La-da-da, la-da-da, la-da-da, la-da-da, [E] Bobby McGee.
La-da-da, la-da-da, la-da-da, la-da-da, [A] Bobby McGee .
La-da-da, la-da-da, la-da-da, la-da-da, Bobby [E] McGee.
La-da-da, la-da-da, la-da-da, la-da-da, Bobby [A] McGee.
Bobby .
.
[E] McGee, Bobby .
.
[A] McGee.
That's [Em] .
[A] [Em] when somebody else has to take over.
