Me And Bobby Mcgee

C   C


[Verse 1]
C
Busted flat in Baton Rouge headed 
for the trains
                           G
Feelin' nearly faded as my jeans

Bobby thumbed a diesel down just 
before it rained
                             C
Took us all the way to New Orleans
C
I took my har'poon out of my dirty 
red bandana
I was playin' sad while Bobby sang 
    F
the blues
With them windshield whipers 
                 C
slappin' time and Bobby clappin' 
hands
           G                     
We finally sang up ever song that 
        C
driver knew


Continues after the ad
[Chorus]
F                              C
Freedom's just another word for 
nothin' left to lose
G                                C
Nothin' left is all she left for me
F                             
Feeling good was easy Lord when 
  C
Bobby sang the blues
G                                 
Feeling it was good enough for me 
                               C
good enough for me and Bobby McGee


[Verse 2]
D
From the coal mines of Kentucky to 
the California sun
D                              A
Bobby shared the secrets of my soul

Standin' right beside me Lord 
through everything I done
Every night she'd keep me from the 
D
cold
D
Somewhere near Salinas Lord Bobby 
slipped away
Lookin' for the home I hope she'll 
G
find
I'd trade all of my tomorrows for 
D
just one yesterday
A                         D
Holding her body close to mine


[Chorus]
G                              D
Freedom's just another word for 
nothin' left to lose
A                                 
Nothin' ain't worth nothin' but 
   D
it's free
G                             
Feeling good was easy Lord when 
  D
Bobby sang the blues
A                                 
Feeling it was good enough for me 
                               D
good enough for me and Bobby McGee
