|
Intro:
|
|
| G | G4 | G G4 | G |
|
|
G
|
|
Busted flat in Baton Rouge
|
|
G
|
|
Waiting for a train
|
|
G
|
|
I was feeling near as faded
|
|
D7
|
|
As my jeans
|
|
D7
|
|
Bobby thumbed a diesel down
|
|
D7
|
|
Just before it rained
|
|
D7
|
|
And rode us all the way to
|
|
G
|
|
New Orleans
|
|
G
|
|
I pulled my harpoon out of
|
|
G
|
|
My dirty red bandana
|
|
G7
|
|
I was playing soft while
|
|
C
|
|
Bobby sang the blues
|
|
C
|
|
Windshield wipers slapping time
|
|
G
|
|
I was holding Bobby's hand in mine
|
|
D7
|
|
We sang every song that driver knew
|
|
C
|
|
Freedom's just another word
|
|
G
|
|
For nothing left to lose
|
|
D7
|
|
Nothing don't mean nothing
|
|
G
|
|
Honey if it ain't free
|
|
G
|
|
Now now
|
|
C G
|
|
And feeling good was easy Lord
|
|
G
|
|
When he sang the blues
|
|
D7
|
|
You know feeling good was
|
|
D7
|
|
Good enough for me
|
|
D7
|
|
Good enough for me
|
|
G A
|
|
And my Bobby McGee
|
|
A
|
|
From the Kentucky coal mines
|
|
A
|
|
To the California sun
|
|
A
|
|
Hey, Bobby shared the secrets
|
|
E7
|
|
Of my soul
|
|
E7
|
|
Through all kinds of weather
|
|
E7
|
|
Through everything that we done
|
|
E7
|
|
Hey Bobby baby kept me
|
|
A
|
|
From the cold
|
|
A
|
|
One day up near Salinas
|
|
A
|
|
Lord, I let him slip away
|
|
A
|
|
He's looking for that home
|
|
D
|
|
And I hope he finds it
|
|
D
|
|
But I'd trade all of my tomorrows
|
|
A
|
|
For one single yesterday
|
|
E
|
|
To be holding Bobby's body
|
|
E
|
|
Next to mine
|
|
D
|
|
Freedom's just another word
|
|
A
|
|
For nothing left to lose
|
|
E7
|
|
Nothing, and that's all
|
|
A
|
