BUSTED FLAT IN BATON ROUGE,
C
HEADIN FOR THE TRAINS;
C C G7
FEELIN NEARLY FADED AS MY JEANS,
G7 G7
BOBBY THUMBED A DIESEL DOWN
G7 G7
JUST BEFORE IT RAINED;
G7 G7 C
TOOK US ALL THE WAY TO NEW ORLEANS.
C C C C
I TOOK MY HARPON OUT OF MY DIRTY RED BANDANNA
C C7 F
AND WAS BLOWIN' SAD WHILE BOBBY SANG THE BLUES;
F F F
_ _ WITH THEM WINDSHIELD WIPERS SLAPPIN TIME
C C
AND BOBBY'S CLAPPIN HANDS WE FINALLY
G7 G7 C
SANG EVERY SONG THAT DRIVER KNEW
F F C C
FREEDOM'S JUST ANOTHER WORD FOR NOTHIN LEFT TO LOSE,
G7 G7 C
NOTHIN' AIN'T WORTH NOTHIN' BUT IT'S FREE;
F F C C
FEELIN' GOOD WAS EASY, LORD WHEN BOBBY SANG THE BLUES;
G7 G7 G7
AND FEELIN WAS GOOD ENOUGH FOR ME,
G7 G7 C
GOOD ENOUGH FOR ME AND BOBBY MCGEE
C C C
_ _ FROM THE COAL MINES OF KENTUCKY
C C
TO THE CALIFORNIA SUN,
C C G7
BOBBY SHARED THE SECRETS OF MY SOUL;
G7 G7
STANDIN' RIGHT BESIDE ME, LORD
G7 G7
THROUGH EVERYTHING I DONE,
G7 G7 C
AND EVERY NIGHT SHE KEPT ME FROM THE COLD.
C C C
_ _ _ THEN SOMEWHERE NEAR SALINAS, LORD,
C C
I LET HER SLIP AWAY
C C7 F
LOOKIN' FOR THE HOME I HOPE SHE'LL FIND;
F F F
_ AND I'D TRADE ALL OF MY TOMORROWS
C
FOR A SINGLE YESTERDAY
G7 G7 C
HOLDIN BOBBY'S BODY NEXT TO MINE
F F C C
FREEDOM'S JUST ANOTHER WORD FOR NOTHIN LEFT TO LOSE,
G7 G7 C
NOTHIN' AIN'T WORTH NOTHIN' BUT IT'S FREE;
F F C C
FEELIN' GOOD WAS EASY, LORD WHEN BOBBY SANG THE BLUES;
G7 G7 G7
AND FEELIN WAS GOOD ENOUGH FOR ME,
G7 G7 C
GOOD ENOUGH FOR ME AND BOBBY MCGEE
