{intro}  
  
G               G          G                G  
Busted flat in Baton Rouge, headin' for a train  
 G                G        D7      D7  
feelin' near as faded as my jeans,  
D7               D7        D7               D7  
Bobby thumbed a diesel down just before it rained.  
 D7              D7            G - C    G  
Took us all the way into New Orleans.  
  G             G             G             G  
I took my harpoon out of my dirty red bandana  
            G                   G7              C    C  
And was playin' soft while Bobby sang the blues.  
                  C                   C                 G                G  
With them windshield wipers slappin' time and Bobby clappin' time, we fin'lly  
D7              D7               D7   D7  
Sang up every song that driver knew  
  
C                C             G                 G  
Freedom's just another word for nothin' left to lose.  
D7                 D7                            G    G  
Nothin' ain't worth nothin' but it's free. 
    C                C                      G                 G  
Feelin' good was easy, Lord, when Bobby sang the blues.  
         D7               D7               D7  D7  
Feelin' good was good enough for me,  
D7               D7               G    G    A    A  
Good enough for me and my Bobby McGee.  
  
         A         A                A          A  
From the coal mines of Kentuckyto the California sun  
     A                 A          E7      E7  
Bobby shared the secrets of my soul.  
        E7            E7              E7             E7  
Standin' right beside me, Lord, through everything I'd done,  
     E7         E7                    A     A  
Every night she kept me from the cold.  
    A              A            A                 A  
Then somewhere near Salinas, Lord, I let her slip away  
     A                 A7                 D        D  
Lookin' for the home and I hope she'll find. 
         D               D              A            A  
And I'd trade all my tomorrows for a single yesterday  
      E7               E7           E7   E7  
holdin' Bobby's body next to mine. 
  
D                D             A                 A  
Freedom's just another word for nothin' left to lose.  
E7                   E7             A       A  
Nothin' left is all she left for me. 
      D                D          A                     A  
Feelin' good was easy, Lord, when Bobby sang the blues.  
    E7               E7               E7  E7  
Buddy, that was good enough for me,  
E7               E7               A         A  
Good enough for me and Bobby McGee.  
  
      A         A          A              A  
La da da, la da, la da da da da da da  
A              A              E7      E7  
La da da da me and Bobby McGee.  
E7             E7     E7             E7  
La da da da da da da da la da da da da, 
E7             E7           A       A  
La da da da me and Bobby McGee  
  
      A           A                A                A  
La da da, la da, la da da da da da da da 
A          A                    E7       E7  
La da da da me and Bobby McGee.  
       E7             E7         E7              E7  
La da da da da da da, la da da da da, 
E7         E7                    A    A  
La da da da me and Bobby McGee.
