Me And Bobby Mcgee

| A | A | A | A |

[Verse 1]
A
Busted flat in Baton Rouge, waiting 
for the trains.
                             E7
Feeling 'bout as faded as my jeans.
E7
Bobby flagged the diesel down, just 
before it rained.
E                             A
 Took us all the way to New Orleans.
A
Then I pulled my harpoon out of my 
dirty red bandana.
And was blowing sad, while Bobby 
         D
sang the blues
D
With the windshield wipers slapping 
time.
    A
And Bobby's hand in mine we finally:
E                             
Sung up every song, that driver 
  A
knew.

[Chorus]
D                             
Freedoms just another word, for 
  A
nothing left to lose.
E                                 
Nothing ain’t worth nothing but 
  A
its free, yes it's free.
D                                 
Feeling good was easy Lord, while 
A
Bobby sang the blues
E
Feeling good was good enough for me,
 for me.
                               A
Good enough for me and Bobby McGee

[Verse 2]
A
From the coalmines in Kentucky to 
the California sun.
                               E
Bobby shared the secrets of my soul
Standing right beside Lord, to 
E7
everything I'd done.
E                                 
And every night she'd keep me from
     A
 the cold.
A
And the one day near Salinas Lord, I
 let her slip away.
Looking for the home I'll hope 
       D
she'll find.
And I'd trade all my tomorrows for 
    A
one single yesterday.
E7                           A
Holding Bobby's body next to mine.

[Chorus]
D                             
Freedoms just another word, for 
  A
nothing left to lose.
E                                 
Nothing ain’t worth nothing but 
   A
it's free, but it's free.
D                                 
Feeling good was easy Lord, while 
A
Bobby sang the blues
E
And feeling good was good enough for
 me.
                               A   
Good enough for me and Bobby McGee.
   A
