C Busted flat in Baton Rouge, headin' for the trains G Feelin' nearly faded as my jeans G7 Bobby thumbed a diesel down just before it rained C G Took us all the way to New Orleans C I took my mouth harp out of my old dirty red bandana C7 F I was playin' sad while Bobby sang the blues C Those windshield wipers slappin' time and Bobby's clappin' hands we finally G C C7 Sang up every song that driver knew, whoa F C Freedom's just another word for nothin' left to lose G C C7 Nothin' ain't worth nothin' but it's free, whoa F C Feelin' good was easy Lord when Bobby sang the blues G Feelin' good was good enough for me, Bobby McGee D From the coal mines of Kentucky to the California sun A Bobby shared the secrets of my soul A7 Standin' right beside me Lord thru everything I done D A7 And every night she kept me from the cold D Then somewhere near Salinas Lord I let her slip away G Lookin' for the home I hope she'll find D I'd trade all of my tomorrows for a single yesterday A D D9 Holdin' Bobby's body next to mine, whoa G D Freedom's just another word for nothin' left to lose A D D9 Nothin' left is all she left for me, whoa G D Feelin' good was easy Lord when Bobby sang the blues A D9 Feelin' good was good enough for me, Bobby McGee, whoa G D Freedom's just another word for nothin' left to lose A D D9 Nothin' ain't worth nothin' but it's free, whoa G D Feelin' good was easy Lord when Bobby sang the blues A Feelin' good was good enough for me, Bobby McGee
