A                                                                             E 
Busted flat in Baton Rouge, headin' for the train, feelin' nearly faded as my jeans
E                                                                              A 
Bobby thumbed a diesel down, Just before it rained, took us all the way to New Orleans
  A                                                                      A7             D 
I took my harpoon out of my dirty red bandanna and was blowing sad while Bobby sang the blues
D                                                A     
And with the windshield wipers slappin' time And Bobby clappin' hands
           E                              A
We finally sang up every song that driver knew



D                               A
Freedom's just another word for nothin' left to lose
E                                    A
Nothin' ain't worth nothin' but it's free
D                               A
Feeling good was easy Lord when Bobby sang the blues
E
And buddy that was good enough for me
E                              A
Good enough for me and Bobby McGee


Guitar solo


From the coal mines of Kentucky to the California sun, Bobby shared the secrets of my soul
Standin' right beside me Lord Through everything I've done and every night she kept me from the cold
Then somewhere near Salinas Lord I let her slip away lookin' for the home I hope she'll find
And I'd trade all of my tomorrows for a single yesterday, holdin' Bobby's body next to mine


Chorus
