As recorded by Jerry Lee Lewis (From the 1971 Album WOULD YOU TAKE ANOTHER CHANCE ON ME?) [Intro] N.C. (One two one two three four) C [Verse 1]
C
Well busted flat in Baton Rouge a headin' for the trains

                           G7
Feelin' nearly faded as my jeans

G7
Ol' Bobby thumbed a diesel down just before it rained

                                  C
Lord took us all the way to New Orleans

C
Pulled my ol' har'poon out of my dirty red bandana

                    C7             F
Blowed it low while Bobby sang the blues

          F7
With them windshield whipers slappin' time

    C
And Bobby clappin' hands with mine

G7                           C7
We finally sang up ever song that driver knew
[Chorus]
F                               C7
Freedom's just another word for nothin' left to lose

    G7                                      C7
And nothin' ain't worth nothin' but it's free

F7                              C
Feeling good was easy Lord when Bobby sang the blues

G7                                                                   C   D7
Lord that was good enough for me yeah good enough for me and Bobby McGee
[Verse 2]
D7
From the coal mines of Kentucky to the California sun

                               A7
Bobby shared the secrets of my soul

A7
She was standin' right beside me Lord through everything I done

                                     D7
And every night she kept me from the cold

D7
Then somewhere near Salinas Lord I let her slip away

                                   G7
Looking for the home I hope she'll find

                                  D
And I'd trade all of my tomorrows for a single yesterday

A7                        D
Holding her body close to mine
[Chorus]
G                               D
Freedom's just another word for nothin' left to lose

    A7                                   D
And nothin' ain't worth nothin' but it's free

G                               D
Feeling good was easy Lord when Bobby sang the blues

A7                                                                     D
But if that was good enough for me yeah good enough for me and Bobby McGee
[Outro]
D                A7    D
Yeah la la la la...
