Chords

(Live in Denmark, T.V. appearance.) [Intro] | A | A | A | A | [Verse 1]
A
Busted flat in Baton Rouge, waiting for the trains.

                             E7
Feeling 'bout as faded as my jeans.

E7
Bobby flagged the diesel down, just before it rained.

E                             A
 Took us all the way to New Orleans.

A
Then I pulled my harpoon out of my dirty red bandana.

                                          D
And was blowing sad, while Bobby sang the blues

D
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
[Verse 2]
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.

A
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.
[Chorus]
D                               A
Freedoms just another word, for nothing left to lose.

E                                    A
Nothing ain’t worth nothing but it's free, but it's free.

D                                 A
Feeling good was easy Lord, while Bobby sang the blues

E
And feeling good was good enough for me.

                               A      A
Good enough for me and Bobby McGee.
