Somewhat similar to other tabs for this song here in A, but they didn't have the
A7 and E7 chords and I think it makes a big difference.
[Verse 1]
A
Busted flat in Baton Rouge headin' for the trains
E7
Feelin' nearly faded as my jeans
Bobby thumbed a diesel down just before it rained
A
Took us all the way to New Orleans
Took my harpoon out of my dirty red bandana
A7 D
And was blowin' sad while Bobby sang the blues
With them windshield wipers slappin' time and
A
Bobby clappin' hands we finally
E7 A A7
Sang up every song that driver knew
[Chorus]
D A
Freedom's just another word for nothin' left to lose
E7 A A7
And nothin' ain't worth nothin' but it's free
D A
Feelin' good was easy Lord when Bobby sang the blues
E7
And feeling good was good enough for me
A
Good enough for me and my Bobby McGee
[Verse 2]
A
From the coal mines of Kentucky to the California sun
E7
Bobby shared the secrets of my soul
Standin' right beside me through everythin' I done
A
And every night she kept me from the cold
Then somewhere near Salinas Lord I let her slip away
A7 D
She was lookin' for the home I hope she'll find
A
Well I'd trade all my tomorrows for a single yesterday
E7 A
Holdin' Bobby's body close to mine
[Chorus]
D A
Freedom's just another word for nothin' left to lose
E7 A A7
And nothin' ain't worth nothin' but it's free
D A
Feelin' good was easy Lord when Bobby sang the blues
E7
And feeling good was good enough for me
A
Good enough for me and my Bobby McGee
