As recorded by Bobby Bare (From the 1971 Album I NEED SOME GOOD NEWS BAD) [Intro] A [Verse 1]
A                                                                            E7
Busted flat in Baton Rouge headin' for the trains feelin' nearly faded as my jeans

                                                                                  A
Bobby thumbed a diesel down just before it rained it took us all the way to New Orleans

A
I pulled my ol' har'poon out of my dirty red bandana

                                     D
I blowed it low while Bobby sang the blues

D
With them windshield wipers slappin' time

A                               E7                            A
Bobby clappin' hands we finally sang up ever song that driver knew
[Chorus]
D                               A
Freedom's just another word for nothin' left to lose

    E7                                   A
And nothin' ain't worth nothin' but it's free

     D                          A
Yeah feeling good was easy Lord when Bobby sang the blues

    E7                                                                      A7   C
And buddy that was good enough for me it was good enough for me and Bobby McGee
[Verse 2]
C
From the coal mines of Kentucky to the California sun

                               G7
Bobby shared the secrets of my soul

G7
Standin' right beside me Lord through everything I done

                                     C
And every night she kept me from the cold

C
Then somewhere near Salinas Lord I let her slip away

G7              C7                 F
Lookin' for the home I hope she'll find

                                    C                G7                             C
I'd trade all of my tomorrows for a single yesterday holding her good body close to mine
[Chorus]
F                               C
Freedom's just another word for nothin' left to lose

    G7                               C
And nothin' left is all she left for me

F                          C
Feeling good was easy Lord when Bobby sang the blues

    G7                                                                        C
And buddy that was good enough for me, yeah good enough for me and my Bobby McGee
[Outro]
C                          G7                             C
Mhm mhm mhm me and Bobby McGee mhm mhm mhm me and Bobby McGee

                           G7
Mhm mhm mhm me and Bobby McGee mhm mhm mhm me and Bobby McGee
