Verse 1

Busted flat in Baton Rouge,
waitin' for a train
D
And I's feelin' near as faded as my jeans
Bobby thumbed a diesel down,
just before it rained
G
C
G
It rode us all the way to New Orleans
G
I pulled my harpoon out of my
dirty red bandanna
I was playin' soft while
C
Bobby sang the blues, yeah
Windshield wipers slappin' time,
G
I was holdin' Bobby's hand in mine
D
We sang every song that driver knew
Chorus 1
C
Freedom's just another word for
G
nothin' left to lose
D
G
Nothin', don't mean nothin' hon' if it ain't free,

G
when he sang the blues
D
You know, feelin' good
was good enough for me
Good enough for me

and my Bobby McGee
Verse 2

From the Kentucky coal mine
to the California sun
E
There Bobby shared the secrets of my soul
Through all kinds of weather,
through everything we done
A
Yeah, Bobby baby kept me from the cold
One day up near Salinas, Lord,
I let him slip away
He's lookin' for that home,
D
and I hope he finds it
But, I'd trade all of my tomorrows,
A
for a single yesterday
E
To be holdin' Bobby's body next to mine
Chorus 2

Freedom's just another another word for
A
nothin' left to lose
