Guitar chords with lyrics

Intro G - C   G (Intro is Kinda Boom-chuck style)

Verse:
G               G          G
Busted flat in Baton Rouge, waitin' for a
  G
train
         G                G
Feelin' near as faded as
 D7      D7
my jeans
D7               D7        D7
Bobby flagged a diesel down just before
    D7
it rained
     D7              D7            G  C
Took us all the way into New Orleans
  G
  G             G             G
I took my harp on out of my dirty red
    G
bandana
    G                   G7
I was blowin' sad while Bobby sang the
  C    C
blues
C                   C
With them windshield wipers slappin' time,
   G                G
Bobby clappin' hands
D7             D7               D7   D7
We sang every song that driver knew

Chorus:
C                C             G
Freedom's just another word for nothin'
         G
left to do
D7                 D7
Nothin', ain't worth nothin'
        G    G
but it's free
    C                C              G
Feelin' good was easy, lord, when
            G
Bobby sang the blues
         D7               D7              D7  D7
Feelin' good was good enough for me
D7               D7               G    G
Good enough for me and my Bobby McGee
  G    G

Verse:
         G         G           G
From the coal mines of Kentucky to the
         G
California sun
     G                 G          D7    D7
Bobby shared the secrets of my soul
        D7            D7
Standing right beside me, Lord,
D7             D7
in everything I done,
     D7         D7               G     G
Bobby's body kept me from the cold
    G              G            G
Then somewhere near Salinas, lord, I let
           G
her slip away
     G                 D7
Lookin' for that home and I hope she
 C        C
finds it
         C               C
And I'd trade all my tomorrows for one
G            G
single yesterday
      D7               D7           D7
Holdin' Bobby's body close to mine


Chorus:
C                C             G
Freedom's just another word for nothin'
         G
left to lose
D7                   D7             G
Nothin', was all she left for me

      C                C          G
Feelin' good was easy, lo-o-ord,
                 G
when Bobby sang the blues
    D7               D7               D7
Feelin' good was good enough for me

D7               D7               G
Good enough for me and my Bobby McGee
