Chords with lyrics
Verse
A augmentedA
Busted flat in Baton Rouge, headin' for the train
E MajorE
Feelin' nearly faded as my jeans
Bobby thumbed a diesel down,
Just before it rained
A augmentedA
Took us all the way to New Orleans
A augmentedA
I took my harpoon out of my dirty red bandanna
D MajorD
And was blowing sad while Bobby sang the blues
With those windshield wipers slappin' time
A augmentedA
And Bobby clappin' hands
E MajorE A augmentedA
We finally sang up every song that driver knew
D MajorD A augmentedA
Freedom's just another word for nothin' left to lose
E MajorE A augmentedA
Nothin' ain't worth nothin' but it's free
D MajorD A augmentedA
Feeling good was easy Lord when Bobby sang the blues
E MajorE
Feeling good was good enough for me
A augmentedA
Good enough for me and Bobby McGee
Verse
A augmentedA
From the coal mines of Kentucky to the California sun
E MajorE
Bobby shared the secrets of my soul
Standin' right beside me Lord
Through everything I've done
A augmentedA
And every night she kept me from the cold
A augmentedA
Then somewhere near Salinas Lord I let her slip away
A augmentedA D MajorD
Lookin' for the home I hope she'll find
And I'd trade all of my tomorrows
A augmentedA
For a single yesterday
E MajorE A augmentedA
Holdin' Bobby's body next to mine
D MajorD A augmentedA
Freedom's just another word for nothin' left to lose
E MajorE A augmentedA
Nothin' ain't worth nothin' but it's free
D MajorD A augmentedA
Feeling good was easy Lord when Bobby sang the blues
E MajorE
Feeling good was good enough for me
A augmentedA
Good enough for me and Bobby McGee
