Me and Bobby Mcgee - Kris KristoffersoN
{intro}
G - C G - C G - C G - C
G G G G
Busted flat in Baton Rouge, headin' for a train
G G D7 D7
feelin' near as faded as my jeans,
D7 D7 D7 D7
Bobby thumbed a diesel down just before it rained.
D7 D7 G - C G
Took us all the way into New Orleans.
G G G G
I took my harpoon out of my dirty red bandana
G G7 C C
And was playin' soft while Bobby sang the blues.
C C G G
With them windshield wipers slappin' time and Bobby clappin' time, we fin'lly
D7 D7 D7 D7
Sang up every song that driver knew
Chorus -----------------
C C G G
Freedom's just another word for nothin' left to lose.
D7 D7 G G
Nothin' ain't worth nothin' but it's free.
C C G G
Feelin' good was easy, Lord, when Bobby sang the blues.
D7 D7 D7 D7
Feelin' good was good enough for me,
D7 D7 G G A A
Good enough for me and my Bobby McGee.
End Chorus -------------
A A A A
From the coal mines of Kentuckyto the California sun
A A E7 E7
Bobby shared the secrets of my soul.
E7 E7 E7 E7
Standin' right beside me, Lord, through everything I'd done,
E7 E7 A A
Every night she kept me from the cold.
A A A A
Then somewhere near Salinas, Lord, I let her slip away
A A7 D D
Lookin' for the home and I hope she'll find.
D D A A
And I'd trade all my tomorrows for a single yesterday
E7 E7 E7 E7
holdin' Bobby's body next to mine.
Chorus -----------------
D D A A
Freedom's just another word for nothin' left to lose.
E7 E7 A A
Nothin' left is all she left for me.
D D A A
Feelin' good was easy, Lord, when Bobby sang the blues.
E7 E7 E7 E7
Buddy, that was good enough for me,
E7 E7 A A
Good enough for me and Bobby McGee.
End Chorus -------------

La da da, la da, la da da da da da da
A A E7 E7
La da da da me and Bobby McGee.
E7 E7 E7 E7
La da da da da da da da la da da da da,
E7 E7 A A
La da da da me and Bobby McGee
A A A A
La da da, la da, la da da da da da da da
A A E7 E7
La da da da me and Bobby McGee.
E7 E7 E7 E7
La da da da da da da, la da da da da,
E7 E7 A A
La da da da me and Bobby McGee.
