Chords with lyrics
Key: C majorC
C majorC
Busted flat in Baton Rouge, headin' for the trains
G+G
Feelin' nearly faded as my jeans
G7G7
Bobby thumbed a diesel down just before it rained
C majorC G+G
Took us all the way to New Orleans
C majorC
I took my mouth harp out of my old dirty red bandana
C7C7 FF
I was playin' sad while Bobby sang the blues
C majorC
Those windshield wipers slappin' time and Bobby's clappin' hands we finally
G+G C majorC C7C7
Sang up every song that driver knew, whoa
FF C majorC
Freedom's just another word for nothin' left to lose
G+G C majorC C7C7
Nothin' ain't worth nothin' but it's free, whoa
FF C majorC
Feelin' good was easy Lord when Bobby sang the blues
G+G
Feelin' good was good enough for me, Bobby McGee
D MajorD
From the coal mines of Kentucky to the California sun
A augmentedA
Bobby shared the secrets of my soul
A7A7
Standin' right beside me Lord thru everything I done
D MajorD A7A7
And every night she kept me from the cold
D MajorD
Then somewhere near Salinas Lord I let her slip away
G+G
Lookin' for the home I hope she'll find
D MajorD
I'd trade all of my tomorrows for a single yesterday
A augmentedA D MajorD D9D9
Holdin' Bobby's body next to mine, whoa
G+G D MajorD
Freedom's just another word for nothin' left to lose
A augmentedA D MajorD D9D9
Nothin' left is all she left for me, whoa
G+G D MajorD
Feelin' good was easy Lord when Bobby sang the blues
A augmentedA D9D9
Feelin' good was good enough for me, Bobby McGee, whoa
G+G D MajorD
Freedom's just another word for nothin' left to lose
A augmentedA D MajorD D9D9
Nothin' ain't worth nothin' but it's free, whoa
