Me Bobby Mcgee

G
Busted flat in Baton Rouge, waitin' for a train
                                     D7
When I's feelin' near as faded as my jeans

Bobby thumbed a diesel down just before it rained
                                   G      C    G
And rode us all the way into New Orleans

  G
I pulled my harp out of my dirty red bandana
                        G7            C
I's playin' soft while Bobby sang the blues
                 C                  G
Windshield wipers slappin' time, I was holdin' Bobby's hand in mine
D7
We sang every song that driver knew

[Chorus]
C                               G
Freedom's just another word for nothin' left to lose
D7                                           G
Nothin', it ain't nothin' honey, if it ain't free
    C                                G
And feelin' good was easy, lord, oh, when he sang the blues
         D7
You know feelin' good was good enough for me
                                  G
Good enough for me and my Bobby McGee

[Verse]
         G
From the Kentucky coal mines to the California sun
     G                              D7
Yeah Bobby shared the secrets of my soul

Through all kinds of weather, through everything we done
                                 G
Yeah Bobby baby kept me from the cold

One day up near Salinas, lord, I let him slip away
                      G7                 C
He's lookin' for that home and I hope he finds it
                                        G
Well I'd trade all my tomorrows for one single yesterday
      D7
To be holdin' Bobby's body next to mine

[Chorus]
C                               G
Freedom's just another word for nothin' left to lose
D7                                           G
Nothin', it ain't nothin' honey, if it ain't free
    C                                G
And feelin' good was easy, lord, oh, when he sang the blues
         D7
You know feelin' good was good enough for me
                                  G
Good enough for me and my Bobby McGee
