   half a measure, depending on how you look at it.]
 [For the intro, strum 2 whole-beat G chords, then 4 half-beat C chords.]

 [intro]
 G               G          G                G
 Busted flat in Baton Rouge, waitin' for a train
          G                G        D7      D7
 When I's feelin' near as faded as my jeans
 D7               D7        D7               D7
 Bobby thumbed a diesel down just before it rained
      D7              D7            G - C    G
 And rode us all the way into New Orleans
 
   G             G             G             G
 I pulled my harpoon out of my dirty red bandana
     G                   G7              C    C
 I's playin' soft while Bobby sang the blues
 C                   C                 G                G
 Windshield wipers slappin' time, I was holdin' Bobby's hand in mine
 D7             D7               D7   D7
 We sang every song that driver knew
 
 C                C             G                 G
 Freedom's just another word for nothin' left to lose
 D7                 D7                          G    G
 Nothin', it ain't nothin' honey, if it ain't free
     C                C              G                 G
 And feelin' good was easy, lord, oh, when he sang the blues
          D7               D7               D7  D7
 You know feelin' good was good enough for me
 D7               D7               G    G    A    A
 Good enough for me and my Bobby McGee
 
          A         A                A          A
 >From the Kentucky coal mines to the California sun
      A                 A          E7      E7
 Yeah Bobby shared the secrets of my soul
         E7            E7              E7             E7
 Through all kinds of weather, through everything we done
      E7         E7               A     A
 Yeah Bobby baby kept me from the cold
 
     A              A            A                 A
 One day up near Salinas, lo-ord, I let him slip away
      A                 A7                 D        D
 He's lookin' for that home and I hope he finds it
          D               D              A            A
 Well I'd trade all my tomorrows for one single yesterday
       E7               E7           E7   E7
 To be holdin' Bobby's body next to mine
 
 D                D             A                 A
 Freedom's just another word for nothin' left to lose
 E7                   E7             A       A
 Nothin', and that's all that Bobby left me
       D                D          A                     A
 Well, feelin' good was easy, lo-o-ord, when he sang the blues
     E7               E7               E7  E7
 And feelin' good was good enough for me
 E7               E7               A         A
