Capo on 2nd fret
	        

   
C (muted)   
Busted flat in Baton Rouge, headin' for the train,  
C                           G   
Feelin' nearly faded as my jeans,   
   
Bobby thumbed a diesel down just before it rained,   
                             C   
Took us all the way to New Orleans,   
   
I took my mouth harp out of my old dirty red bandana   
                              C7        F   
I was playin' sad while Bobby sang the blues,   
                                           C   
Those windshield wipers slappin' time and Bobby clappin' hands, we fin'lly   
G                               C     C7   
Sang up every song that driver knew. Whoa   
   
   
F C Freedom's just another word for nothin' left to lose. G C C7 Nothin' ain't worth nothin' but it's free. Whoa F C Feelin' good was easy, Lord, when Bobby sang the blues. G N/C Dxux2 Feelin' good was good enough for me, Good enough for me and Bobby McGee.
(Key change) D (muted) From the coal mines of Kentucky to the California sun D A Bobby shared the secrets of my soul. Standin' right beside me, Lord, thru everything I done, D Ev'ry night she kept me from the cold. Then somewhere near Salinas, Lord, I let her slip away, G Lookin' for the home I hope she'll find. D I'd trade all my tomorrows for a single yesterday A D Dsus2 Holdin' Bobby's body next to mine. Whoa repest chorus twice
