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.

Verse 2:

C                     C               C             C
From the coalmines of Kentucky to the California sun
C                C             G7
Bobby shared the secrets of my soul
G7                    G7                     G7
Standin' right beside me through everythin' I done
    G7                               C
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
G7                G7
feeling good was good enough for me
G7               G7             C
good enough for me and bobby Mc Gee.
