[Start]

[Intro]
D7 A E7 E E7 A A7 D
           
A E7 A
   


[Verse]
       A                                          
Busted flat in Baton Rouge I headed for the trains
               A7          E7    E
Feelin' nearly faded as my jeans 
                E7          E                    
Bobby thumbed a diesel down just before it rained
                           A      
Took us all the way to New Orleans
  A7                                         
I took my harpoon out of my dirty red bandana
                                       D    
I was blowin' sad while Bobby sang the blues
             D                              
And with the windshield wipers slappin' time
A                         
And Bobby's clappin' hands
           E7            E                A   
We finally sang up every song that driver knew


[Chorus]
D                           A                       
Freedom's just another word for nothin' left to lose
    E7                  E                A   
And nothin' ain't worth nothin' but it's free
D                          A                        
Feelin' good was easy Lord when Bobby sang the blues
E                  E7                
And buddy that was good enough for me
                             A    
Good enough for me and Bobby McGee


[Solo]
E7 A A7 D7 D A
        
E7 E E7 A
     


[Verse]
         A                                           
From the coal mines of Kentucky to the California sun
                               E7  
Bobby shared the secrets of my soul
                              E7                          
Standing right beside me Lord through everything I've done
                                     A   
And every night she kept me from the cold
     A                                              
Then somewhere near Salinas Lord I let her slip away
                                   D   
Looking for the home I hope she'll find
                                        A               
And I'd trade all of my tomorrows for a single yesterday
E7                           A   
Holdin' Bobby's body next to mine


[Chorus]
D                        A                             E
 Freedom's just another word for nothin' left to lose 
                                A            
And nothin' ain't worth nothin' but it's free
D                           A                              E7
 And feelin' good was easy Lord when Bobby sang the blues  
                        E7           
And buddy that was good enough for me
E                      E7    A    
Good enough for me and Bobby McGee
