Me And Bobby Mcgee

A

[Verse]

A
  Busted flat in Baton Rouge and 
heading for the trains
                          E
feeling nearly faded as my jeans

Bobby thumbed a diesel down just 
before it rained
                          A
took us all the way to New Orleans

I took my harpoon out of my dirty 
red bandanna
and was blowing sad while Bobby sang
    D
 the Blues

with them windshield wipers slapping
 time
   A                               
and Bobby clapping hands we finally
E                  A
 sang up every song that driver knew


[Chorus]

D                               A
Freedom is just another word for 
nothing left to lose

E                                 
Nothing ain't worth nothing but 
  A
it's free
D                              A
Feeling good was easy Lord when 
Bobby sang the Blues
E
Feeling good was good enough for me
                                A  
good enough for me and Bobby McGee
    B



[Verse]

         B
From the coal mines of Kentucky to 
the California sun
                              F#
Bobby shared the secrets of my soul

Standing right beside me Lord 
through everything I done
                                B
Every night she kept me from the 
cold

Then somewhere near Salinas Lord I 
let her slip away
searching for the home I hope she'll
E
 find
And I'd trade all my tomorrows for a
B
 single yesterday
F#                          B
holding Bobby's body next to mine


[Chorus]

E                               B
Freedom is just another word for 
nothing left to lose
F#                              B
Nothing left is all she left for me
E                              B
Feeling good was easy Lord when 
Bobby sang the Blues
F#
Buddy that was good enough for me
                               B
good enough for me and Bobby McGee
