Me And Bobby Mcgee

Kris Kristofferson
 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
 D
and was blowing sad while Bobby sang the Blues

with them windshield wipers slapping time
 AEA
and Bobby clapping hands we finally sang up every song that driver knew
 DA
 Freedom is just another word for nothing left to lose
 EA
 Nothing ain't worth nothing but it's free
 DA
 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
 >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
 E
searching for the home I hope she'll find
 B
And I'd trade all my tomorrows for a single yesterday
 F#B
 holding Bobby's body next to mine
 EB
 Freedom is just another word for nothing left to lose
 F#B
 Nothing left is all she left for me
 EB
 Feeling good was easy Lord when Bobby sang the Blues

Buddy that was good enough for me
 B
good enough for me and Bobby McGee
(Fade out with)
La de da de da de da da La de da de da
 F#
La de da da me and Bobby McGee
La de da de da de da da La de da de da
 B
La de da da me and Bobby McGee
