Tom: A
A
[Verse]
A
Busted flat in Baton Rouge and heading for the trains
E
feeling nearly faded as my jeans
Bobby thumbed a diesel down just before it rained
A
took us all the way to New Orleans
I took my harpoon out of my dirty red bandanna
D
and was blowing sad while Bobby sang the Blues
with them windshield wipers slapping time
A E A
and Bobby clapping hands we finally sang up every song that driver knew
[Chorus]
D A
Freedom is just another word for nothing left to lose
E A
Nothing ain't worth nothing but it's free
D A
Feeling good was easy Lord when Bobby sang the Blues
E
Feeling good was good enough for me
A B
good enough for me and Bobby McGee
[Verse]
B
From the coal mines of Kentucky to the California sun
F#
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
Then somewhere near Salinas Lord I let her slip away
E
searching for the home I hope she'll find
B
And I'd trade all my tomorrows for a single yesterday
F# B
holding Bobby's body next to mine
[Chorus]
E B
Freedom is just another word for nothing left to lose
F# B
Nothing left is all she left for me
E B
Feeling good was easy Lord when Bobby sang the Blues
F#
Buddy that was good enough for me
B
good enough for me and Bobby McGee
(Fade out with)
La de da de da de da da La de da de da
F#
La de da da me and Bobby McGee
La de da de da de da da La de da de da
B
La de da da me and Bobby McGee
