GBusted flat in Baton Rouge waitin' for a train
Feelin' nearly faded as my Djeans.
DBobby thumbed a diesel down just before it rained
D7 G-C-G
Rode us all the way to New Orleans.
I Gpulled my harpoon out of my dirty red bandanna
I was G7playin' soft while Bobby sang the Cblues.
CWindshield wipers slappin' time, I was Gholdin' Bobby's hand in mine
DWe sang every song that driver D7knew.
CFreedom's just another word for Gnothin' left to lose,
D D7 G-G7
Nothin' don't mean nothin' if it ain't free.
CFeelin' good was easy, Lord, Gwhen he sang the blues.
D -D7
Feelin' good was good enough for me,
Good enough for me and Bobby McGGee.
From the GKentucky coal mines to the California sun,
Bobby shared the secrets of my Dsoul.
Through Dall kinds of weather, through everything we done,
D7 G-C-G
Hey, Bobby's body kept me from the cold.
One Gday up near Salinas, Lord, I let him slip away,
He's G7lookin' for that home and I hope he Cfinds it.
But I'd Ctrade all my tomorrows for one Gsingle yesterday,
To be Dholdin' Bobby's body next to D7mine.
CFreedom's just another word for Gnothin' left to lose,
And Dnothin' ain't worth D7nothin', but it's Gfree.
And Cfeelin' good was easy, Lord, when GBobby sang the blues,
D -D7
And feelin' good was good enough for me
Oh, good enough for me and my Bobby McGGee.
