Me and Bobby McGee
Kris Kristofferson

C
Busted flat in Baton Rouge, waitin' for a train
                           G
Feelin' nearly faded as my jeans

Bobby thumbed a diesel down just before it rained
G7                           C
Took us all the way to New Orleans
 
I took my harpoon out of my dirty red bandana
        C7                                F
And was blowin' soft while Bobby sang the blues
                                      C
Windshield wipers slappin' time, I was holdin' Bobby's hand in mine
G                                  G7
We sang every song that driver knew


F                              C
Freedom's just another word for nothin' left to lose
G                                     C    C7
Nothin' ain't worth nothin', but it's free
F                                C
Feelin' good was easy, Lord when Bobby sang the blues
G
Feelin' good was good enough for me
G7                               C
  Good enough for me and Bobby McGee


Key change: D

D
From the Kentucky coal mines to the California sun
                               A
Bobby shared the secrets of my soul
        A7
Through all kinds of weather, and everything I done
                                 D
Yeah Bobby baby kept me from the cold, yeah

One day out near Salinas, oh-ho I let her slip away
      D7                               G
She's lookin' for that home I hope she finds it
                                       D
But I'd trade all my tomorrows for one single yesterday
      A                            A7
To be holdin' Bobby's body next to mine



G                              D
Freedom's just another word for nothin' left to lose
A                   A7                D    D7
Nothin' ain't worth nothin', but it's free
G                                D
Feelin' good was easy, Lord when Bobby sang the blues
A
Feelin' good was good enough for me
A7                             D
  Good enough for me and Bobby McGee


La la la, la la la la, la la la la la
                           A
La la la la la la, Bobby McGee
A7
  La la la, la la la la, la la la la la
                           D
La la la la la la, Bobby McGee
