Busted flat in Baton Rouge, headin’ for the train,
6 7 7 6 -6 6 -5 5 -5
Feelin’ nearly faded as my jeans.
-6 6 -6 6 -6 6 -5 -6 6 -6 6 -5
Bobby thumbed a diesel down, just before it rained;
-6 6 -6 -6 6 -5 5 -5 6
Took us all the way to New Orleans.
7 7 7 7 7 -6 6 -6 7 7 7 7 -6 6
I took my harpoon out of my dirty red bandanna,
6 -6 7 7 7 -7 <-7 <-7 7 6 -6
And was blowing sad while Bobby-- sang the blues.
-7 -8 8 8 8 8 8 -8 -7
With them windshield wipers slappin' time,
-6 7 -6 6 -6 7
And Bobby clappin' hands,
6 -6 6 -5 -5 -5 6 -6 -5 5 -4 5
We finally sang up every song that driver knew.
8 8 8 8 8 -8 -7 -7 7 -6 6 -6 7
Freedom's just another word for nothing' left to lose:
-6 -6 -6 -6 6 -5 5 -5 6
Nothin' ain't worth nothin' but it's free.
8 8 8 8 8 -8 -7 -6 7 -6 6 -6 7
Feeling good was easy, Lord, when Bobby sang the blues.
-5 -5 -5 6 -6 -5 -5 -5 -4
Feeling good was good enough for me;
-6 -6 -6 6 -5 -5 -5 5 -4 5
Good enough for me and Bobby McGee.
6 -6 7 7 7 7 7 -6 6 -6 7 7 7 -6 6
From the coal mines of Kentucky to the California sun,
6 7 7 6 -6 6 -5 5 -5
Bobby shared the secrets of my soul.
-6 6 -6 6 -6 6 -5 -5 -6 6 -6 6 -5
Standin' right beside me, Lord, through everything I've done,
-6 6 -6 -6 6 -5 5 -5 6
Every night she kept me from the cold.
7 7 7 7 7 7 -6 6 -6 7 7 7 -6 6
Then somewhere near Salinas, Lord, I let her slip away,
7 7 7 -7 <-7 <-7 7 6 -6
Lookin' for the home I hope she'll find.
-7 -7 -8 8 8 8 8 -8 -7 -6 7 -6 6 -6 7
And I'd trade all my tomorrows for a single yesterday,
-5 -5 -5 6 -6 -5 5 -4 5
Holdin' Bobby's body next to mine.
8 8 8 8 8 -8 -7 -7 7 -6 6 -6 7
Freedom's just another word for nothing' left to lose:
-6 -6 -6 -6 6 -5 5 -5 6
Nothin' left is all she left for me.
8 8 8 8 8 -8 -7 -6 7 -6 6 -6 7
Feeling good was easy, Lord, when Bobby sang the blues.
-5 -5 -5 6 -6 -5 -5 -5 -4
Buddy, that was good enough for me;
-6 -6 -6 6 -5 -5 -5 5 -4 5
Good enough for me and Bobby McGee.
Was this a good
