Transcribed by Gavin Chart (contactus@gartfrets.net) VERSE: A Busted flat in Baton Rouge, headin' for the trains, E7 Feelin' nearly faded as my jeans, Bobby thumbed a diesel down just before it rained, A Took us all the way to New Orleans. VERSE: A I took my Harpoon out of my dirty red bandana A7 D And was blowin' sad while Bobby sang the blues With them windshield wipers slappin' time A And Bobby's clappin' hands we finally E E7 A Sang up every song that driver knew CHORUS: D A Freedom's just another word for nothin' left to lose E7 A Nothin' ain't worth nothin' but it's free D A Feelin' good was easy, Lord, when Bobby sang the Blues E7 And feelin' good was good enough for me, A Good enough for me and Bobby McGee [modulate to B] VERSE: B From the coal mines of Kentucky to the California sun, F#7 Bobby shared the secrets of my soul Standing right beside me, Lord, through everything I done B Every night she kept me from the cold VERSE: B Then somewhere near Salinas, Lord, I let her slip away, B7 E Lookin' for the home I hope she'll find B And I'd trade all my tomorrows for a single yesterday F#7 B Holdin' Bobby's body next to mine CHORUS: E B Freedom's just another word for nothin' left to lose F#7 B Nothin' left is all she left for me E B Feelin' good was easy, Lord, when Bobby sang the Blues F#7 Buddy that was good was good enough for me, B Good enough for me and Bobby McGee OUTRO: B La de da de da de da da.
