Tom: C
C C
[Verse 1]
C
Busted flat in Baton Rouge headed for the trains
G
Feelin' nearly faded as my jeans
Bobby thumbed a diesel down just before it rained
C
Took us all the way to New Orleans
C
I took my har'poon out of my dirty red bandana
F
I was playin' sad while Bobby sang the blues
C
With them windshield whipers slappin' time and Bobby clappin' hands
G C
We finally sang up ever song that driver knew
[Chorus]
F C
Freedom's just another word for nothin' left to lose
G C
Nothin' left is all she left for me
F C
Feeling good was easy Lord when Bobby sang the blues
G C
Feeling it was good enough for me good enough for me and Bobby McGee
[Verse 2]
D
From the coal mines of Kentucky to the California sun
D A
Bobby shared the secrets of my soul
Standin' right beside me Lord through everything I done
D
Every night she'd keep me from the cold
D
Somewhere near Salinas Lord Bobby slipped away
G
Lookin' for the home I hope she'll find
D
I'd trade all of my tomorrows for just one yesterday
A D
Holding her body close to mine
[Chorus]
G D
Freedom's just another word for nothin' left to lose
A D
Nothin' ain't worth nothin' but it's free
G D
Feeling good was easy Lord when Bobby sang the blues
A D
Feeling it was good enough for me good enough for me and Bobby McGee
