[D]
[A]
[E] [A]
It's a beautiful day.
Rusted, flattened, battened rooge headed for the train.
Feeling early faded as my [E] jeans.
Bobby thumbed a diesel down just before it rained.
Took us all the way to [A] New Orleans.
Pulled my harpoon out of my dirty red bandana.
I was blowing sad while Bobby [D] sang the blues.
With a windshield wiper slapping time [A] and Bobby clapping hands.
[E] We finally sang up every song that [A] driver knew.
[D] Freedom's just another [A] word for nothing left to lose.
[E] Nothing ain't worth nothing [Am] but it's free.
[D] Feeling good was easy [A] Lord when Bobby sang the blues.
[E] Brother that was good enough for me.
Little enough for me and [A] Bobby McGee.
[A]
[Am] [Em] [D]
[A]
[E] [A]
From the coal mines of Kentucky to the California sun.
Bobby shared the secrets of my [E] soul.
Standing right beside me Lord through everything I've done.
And every night she'd keep me from the cold.
And somewhere near Salinas Lord I let her slip away.
Searching for a home I hope she [D] find.
I'd trade all of my tomorrows for [A] one single yesterday.
[E] Holding Bobby's body next [A] to mine.
[D] Freedom's just [A] another word for nothing left to lose.
[E] Nothing ain't worth nothing but [Am] it's free.
[D] Feeling good was easy Lord [A] when Bobby sang the blues.
[E] Brother that was good enough for me.
Good enough for me [A] and Bobby McGee.
[E] Brother that was good enough for me.
[E] Good enough for me and [A] Bobby McGee.
[N]
Alright, thank you very [E] much.
