When I was feelin' near as faded as my jeans.

Bobby thumbed a diesel down, just before it rained.

That rode us all away to New Orleans.

With them windshield wipers slappin' time, I was holding Bobby's hand in mine.

Good enough for me and my Bobby McGee.
6 6 6 6 6 6

From the Kentucky coalmines to the California sun.

One day up near Salinas, Lord. I let him slip away.

He's looking for that home, and I hope he finds it.
-6 -7 7 7 7 7

To be holdin'Bobby's body next to mine.
Chorus: (as above)
Janis Joplin puts this in but I haven't
figured out the tab yet...
Lord, I call you my lover, call you my man.
I said I call you my lover, just the best I can, c'mon.
Hey now Bobby now, hey now Bobby McGee, yeah.
La-da la-da la-da la-da la-da la-da la-da la-la
Hey, hey, hey, Bobby McGee, yeah!
