D Busted flat in Baton Rouge, waitin' for a train, A Feeling nearly faded as my jeans, A Bobby flagged a diesel down just before it rained, D Took us all the way to New Orleans.
[Verse 2]
D I took my harp out of my dirty red bandanna, D7 G I was blowin' sad while Bobby sang the blues, G D With them windshield wipers slappin' time, Bobby clappin' hands, A D D7 We fin’ly sang near every song that driver knew.
[Chorus]
G D Freedom's just another word for nothin' left to do. A D D7 Nothin' ain't worth nothin' but it's free. G D Feelin' good was easy Lord, when Bobby sang the blues. A Feelin' good was good enough for me, A D Good enough for me and Bobby McGee.

[Verse 3]
D From the coal mines of Kentucky to the California sun, D7 A Bobby shared the secrets of my soul, A Standing right beside me, Lord, in everything I done, A D D7 Bobby's body kept me from the cold.
[Verse 4]
D Then somewhere near Salinas, Lord, I let her slip away, D7 G Lookin' for that home, I hope she finds it, G D And I'd trade all my tomorrows for a single yesterday A D D7 Holding Bobby's body close to mine.
[Chorus]
G D Freedom's just another word for nothin' left to lose. A D D7 Nothin' was all she left for me. G D Feelin' good was easy Lord, when Bobby sang the blues. A Feelin' good was good enough for me, A D Good enough for me and Bobby McGee.
[Bridge]
D La-de-la, La-de-la-da, La-de-la, Le-de-la, La-de-le-da, La-de-le-da, La-de-da A Le-Le-Le-he, Da-da-da, Le-Le-Le-He, Da-da-da, La-de-le-ha, La-de-le-ha, La-de-da-de-da-de-da-da
[Chorus]
G D Freedom's just another word for nothin' left to do. A D D7 Nothin' ain't worth nothin' but it's free. G D Feelin' good was easy Lord, when Bobby sang the blues. A Feelin' good was good enough for me, A D Good enough for me and Bobby McGee.
