[Intro]  | A | A | A | A |

A
BUSTED FLAT IN BATON ROUGE, WAITING FOR THE TRAINS.
                             E7
FEELING 'BOUT AS FADED AS MY JEANS.

BOBBY FLAGGED THE DIESEL DOWN, JUST BEFORE IT RAINED.
E                             A
TOOK US ALL THE WAY TO NEW ORLEANS.

THEN I PULLED MY HARPOON OUT OF MY DIRTY RED BANDANA.
                                          D
AND WAS BLOWING SAD, WHILE BOBBY SANG THE BLUES

WITH THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS SLAPPING TIME.
    A
AND BOBBY'S HAND IN MINE WE FINALLY:
E                               A
SUNG UP EVERY SONG, THAT DRIVER KNEW.

[Chorus]_____________________________________________________
  D                               A
  FREEDOMS JUST ANOTHER WORD, FOR NOTHING LEFT TO LOSE.
  E                                   A
  NOTHING AIN’T WORTH NOTHING BUT ITS FREE, YES IT'S FREE
  D                                 A
  FEELING GOOD WAS EASY LORD, WHILE BOBBY SANG THE BLUES
  E
  FEELING GOOD WAS GOOD ENOUGH FOR ME, FOR ME,
                                 A
  GOOD ENOUGH FOR ME AND BOBBY MCGEE.

A
FROM THE COALMINES IN KENTUCKY TO THE CALIFORNIA SUN.
                               E
BOBBY SHARED THE SECRETS OF MY SOUL
                               E7
STANDING RIGHT BESIDE LORD, TO EVERYTHING I'D DONE.
E                                      A
AND EVERY NIGHT SHE'D KEEP ME FROM THE COLD.

AND THE ONE DAY NEAR SALINAS LORD, I LET HER SLIP AWAY.
                                      D
LOOKING FOR THE HOME I'LL HOPE SHE'LL FIND.
                                       A
AND I'D TRADE ALL MY TOMORROWS FOR ONE SINGLE YESTERDAY.
E7                           A
HOLDING BOBBY'S BODY NEXT TO MINE.
