Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
Busted [D]flat in Baton Rouge
Headin' for the train
Feelin' nearly faded as my [A]chain
Bobby thumbed a diesel down
Just before it rained
Took us all the way to New Orleans
[D]I took my harpoon out of my
dirty red bandana
I was blowin' sad
while Bobby sang [G]the blues
With them windshield
wipers slappin' time
And [D]Bobby clappin' hands
We finally sun[A]g up every song
that driver [D]knew
[G]Freedom's just another word
for [D]nothin' left to lose
Noth[A]in' ain't worth
nothin' but it's [D]free
[G]Feeling good was easy, Lord,
when [D]Bobby sang the blues
[A]Feeling good was good enough for me
Good enough for me and Bobby [D]McGee
From the coal mines of Kentucky
to the California sun
Bobby shared the secrets of my [A]soul
Standin' right beside me, Lord,
through everything I'd done
Every night she kept me from [D]the cold
Then somewhere near Salinas,
Lord, I let her slip away
Searchin' for the home
I hoped she'd [G]find
And I'd trade all my tomorrows
for a [D]single yesterday
[A]Holdin' Bobby's body
close [D]to mine
[G]Freedom's just another word for
[D]Nothin' left to lose
Noth[A]in' ain't worth
nothin' but [D]it's free
[G]Feelin' God was easy,
When [D]Bobby sang the blues
Feel[A]in' good was good enough for me
Good enough for me as Harvey
[D]McGee[A]
[D]
[G][D][A]
[D]
[G]Freedom's just another word
for [D]nothin' left to lose
[A]Nothin' ain't worth
nothin' but [D]it's free
[G]Feeling good was easy, Lord,
when [D]Bobby sang the blues
[A]Feeling good was good enough for me
Good enough for me and Bobby [D]McGee
[A]Good enough for me, Bobby McGee
Good enough for me, Bobby [D]McGee you
