Tabbed 5/15/05  
 Capo on 2nd Fret 
  
C5 (muted)  
Busted flat in Baton Rouge, headin' for the trains  
C5                           G5  
Feelin' nearly faded as my jeans  
  
Bobby thumbed a diesel down just before it rained  
                             C5  
Took us all the way to New Orleans  
  
I took my mouth harp out of my old dirty red bandana  
                              C5        F5  
I was playin' sad while Bobby sang the blues  
                                           C5  
Those windshield wipers slappin' time and Bobby's clappin' hands we finally  
G5                               C5     C5  
Sang up every song that driver knew, whoa  
  
  
F5                               C5  
Freedom's just another word for nothin' left to lose  
G5                                     C5    C5  
Nothin' ain't worth nothin' but it's free, whoa  
F5                               C5  
Feelin' good was easy Lord when Bobby sang the blues  
G5                                    N.C. 
Feelin' good was good enough for me, Bobby McGee  
  
(Key change)  
  
  
D5 (muted)  
From the coal mines of Kentucky to the California sun  
D5                               A5  
Bobby shared the secrets of my soul  
  
Standin' right beside me Lord thru everything I done  
                                      D5  
And every night she kept me from the cold  
   
Then somewhere near Salinas Lord I let her slip away  
                                    G5  
Lookin' for the home I hope she'll find  
                                     D5  
I'd trade all of my tomorrows for a single yesterday  
A5                             D5    D5  
Holdin' Bobby's body next to mine, whoa  
  
  
G5                                  D5  
Freedom's just another word for nothin' left to lose  
A5                                D5   D5  
Nothin' left is all she left for me, whoa  
G5                               D5  
Feelin' good was easy Lord when Bobby sang the blues  
A5                                    N.C.          D5  
Feelin' good was good enough for me, Bobby McGee, whoa  
  
  
G5                                 D5  
Freedom's just another word for nothin' left to lose  
A5                                    D5     D5  
Nothin' ain't worth nothin' but it's free, whoa  
G5                               D5  
Feelin' good was easy Lord when Bobby sang the blues  
A5                                    N.C.           
Feelin' good was good enough for me, Bobby McGee
