Lyrics..
Busted flat in Baton Rouge, waitin' for a train
And I was feelin' near as faded as my jeans
Bobby thumbed a diesel down, just before it rained
Rode us all the way to New Orleans
I pulled my harpoon outta my dirty red bandanna
I was playin' soft while Bobby sang the blues, yeah
Windshield wipers slappin' time, I was holdin' Bobby's hand in mine
We sang every song that driver knew
Freedom's just another word for nothin' left to lose
Nothin', don't mean nothin' hon' if it ain't free, no no
And, feelin' good was easy, Lord, when he sang the blues
You know, feelin' good was good enough for me
Good enough for me and my Bobby McGee
From the Kentucky coal mine to the California sun
Bobby shared the secrets of my soul
Through all kinds of weather, through everything we done
Yeah, Bobby baby kept me from the cold
One day up near Salinas, Lord, I let him slip away
He's lookin' for that home, and I hope he finds it
But, I'd trade all of my tomorrows, for a single yesterday
To be holdin' Bobby's body next to mine
Freedom's just another word for nothin' left to lose
Nothin', and that's all that Bobby left me, yeah
But, feelin' good was easy, Lord, when he sang the blues
Hey, feelin' good was good enough for me, mm-hmm
Good enough for me and my Bobby McGee

Head over to chordbook.com for bar chord versions of the G, C and D. Much easier to play. Also the intro G-C G-C is easily played with bar chords. Just flatten your fingers from the G to C and back again. Then when the key changes for the second verse, just move up 2 frets and play the same chord pattern

As a middle guitar beginner, this simple chord layout is easy for me. It was the first guitar song that I learned to play on the guitar. What a great song and lyrics.

I love your format of having the tabs next to a picture of janis. I'm a very visual learner so not only do I see the tabs whilst listening to the song, buy her pictures keep me drawn in too and focused. One thing, I wish you labeled the name of the chord next to the tab! So it can help others memorize the names of the chords/the sound a chord makes

The true version uses d7,e7,asus2 along with standard majors of d,E and a chords, try it to get the blues tone

2nd position G is handy with E, F , also A at the fifth fret, same shape.
