Verse 1:
Bb Bb Bb Bb
Busted flat in Baton Rouge, headin' for the trains
Bb Bb F F
Feelin' nearly faded as my jeans
F F F F
Bobby thumbed a diesel down just before it rained
F F Bb Bb
Took us all the way to New Orleans
Bb Bb Bb Bb
Took my harpoon out of my dirty red bandana
Bb Bb Bb Eb Eb
And was blowin' sad while Bobby sang the blues
Eb Eb
With them windshield wipers slappin' time and
Bb Bb F
Bobby clappin' hands with mine, we sang every song
F
That driver knew
Chorus:
Eb Eb Bb
Freedom's just another word for nothin' left to lose
F F Bb Bb
And nothin' ain't worth nothin' but it's free
Eb Eb Bb Bb
Feelin' good was easy, Lord, when Bobby sang the blues
F F F
Feeling good was good enough for me
F F Bb
Good enough for me and my Bobby McGee.

C C C C
From the coalmines of Kentucky to the California sun

Bobby shared the secrets of my soul
G7 G7 G7
Standin' right beside me through everythin' I done

And every night she kept me from the cold
C C C
Then somewhere near Salinas, Lord, I let her slip away
C C F
She was lookin' for the home I hope she'll find
F F C
Well I'd trade all my tomorrows for a single yesterday
G7 G7
Holdin' Bobby's body close to mine
Chorus:
F F C C
Freedom's just another word for nothin' left to lose
G7 G7 C C
And nothin' left was all she left to me
F C
Feelin' good was easy, Lord, when Bobby sang the blues

feeling good was good enough for me

good enough for me and bobby Mc Gee.
