Intro 
| G           | G           |             |             | 


[Verso 1]
 
G                             G 
  Busted flat in Baton Rouge,   headed for a train 
G                                D 
  And feeling nearly faded as my jeans 
D                             D 
  Bobby thumbed a diesel down   just before it rained 
D                                 G 
  It took us all the way to New Orleans. 
 


[Verso 2]
 
  G                         G 
I took my harpoon out of my dirty red bandana 
G                                     C 
  I was blown sad when Bobby sang the blues 
           C 
With their windshield wipers slappin time 
G 
  With Bobby clappin hands with mine 
     D                            D 
They sang every song their driver knew. 
 


[Refrão]
 
C                                 G 
  Freedom's just another word for   "nothin left to lose" 
D                        C                G 
  Nothing it ain't worth nothing but it's free 
C                                       G 
  But feeling good was easy, Lord, when   Bobby sang the blues 
D                                  D 
  Feeling good was good enough for me 
D                                 G 
  Good enough for me and my Bobby   McGee 
 


[Verso 3]
 
         G                             G 
From the coal mines of Kentucky to the California sun 
G                                D 
  Bobby shared the secrets of my soul 
D 
  They're standing right beside me, lord, 
D 
  Through everything I've done , 
D                                         G 
  And every night you've kept me from the cold 
 


[Verso 4]
 
     G                         G 
Yes, I found me Salinas, Lord,   I let her slip away 
G                               C 
  Looking for my home I hope to find 
               C                        G 
And I'll trade all my tomorrows for one   single yesterday, 
D                             D 
  Holdin Bobby's body next to mine.

C                                 G 
  Freedom's just another word for   "nothin left to loose" 
D                   C                G 
  Nothing left it's all she left for me 
C                                   G 
  Feeling good was easy, Lord, when   Bobby sang the blues 
D                                D 
  Funny that was good enough for me 
D                                 G 
  Good enough for me and my Bobby   McGee
