That's me, singing for the spring, feeling nearly faded as [G] my jeans.
You know Bobby, thunder, deep slow down, just before it rains.
Some old man drove us all the way to [C] New Orleans,
stole my old harp and out of my dirty red bandana.
I love how Bobby [F] sang the blues,
tempo windshield wipers a-slappin' [C] time.
Bobby clapping hands was [G] mine,
was singing a pepper song that [C] driver knew.
[F] Freedom is just another word, I [C] got nothing left to lose.
[G] Nothing, it ain't worth nothing, but [C] it's free.
Feeling [F] good to see the Lord when Bobby sang the blues.
[G] That was good enough for Jerry Lee, good enough for me,
Bobby [C] McGee.
Uh-huh.
[D] From the coal mines of Kentucky to the California sun,
Bobby shared the secrets [A] of my soul.
She was standing right beside me, God,
through everything I'd done,
and every night she helped me from [D] the cold.
Somewhere in New Salina, I watched her step away,
looking for a home I'd hoped [G] to find.
Oh, that's great, all my tomorrow [D] for the tango yesterday,
[A] holding that woman's body [D] close to mine.
[G] Freedom is just another word, [D] I got nothing left to lose.
[A] You know nothing ain't worth nothing, [D] but it's free.
[G] Feeling good to see the [D] Lord when Bobby sang the blues.
[F#m] That was good [A] enough for me, good enough for me,
[D] Bobby McGee.
Uh-huh.

Lord, that was good enough for me and Bobby [D] McGee.
Yodel-ee-oh-dee-oh-dee.
