Me and Bobby McGee* - Kris Hristofferson
[C] Busted flat in Baton Rouge, headin’ for the trains
feelin’ nearly faded as my [G7] jeans
[G7] Bobby thumbed a diesel down, just before it rained
Took us all the way to New Or [C] leans
[C] I took my harpoon out of my dirty red bandana
And was blowin’ sad while [C7] Bobby sung the [F] blues,
[F] With them windshield wipers slapping time,
and [C] Bobby clapping hand, we finally
[G7] sang, every song that driver [C] knew
[F] Freedom’s just another word for [C] nothing left to lose
[G7] Nothin’ ain’t worth nothin’, but it’s [C] free[C7]
[F] Feeling good was easy, Lord, when [C] Bobby sang the blues
[G7] Feeling good was good enough for me; / / / [G7*]
[NC] good enough for me and [G7] bobby Mc [C] Gee.
From the [C] coal mines of Kentucky to the California sun
Bobby shared the secrets of my [G7] soul
[G7] Standin’ right beside me, Lord, through everything I’d done
Every night she kept me from the [C] cold
[C] Then somewhere near Selinas Lord, I let her slip away
Lookin’ for the [C7] home |I hope she’ll [F] find
[F] And I’d trade all my tomorrows for a [C] single yesterday
[G7] holdin’ Bobby’s body next to [C] mine
[F] Freedom’s just another word for [C] nothing left to lose
[G7] Nothin’ left is all she left to [C] me[C7]
[F] Feeling good was easy, Lord, when [C] Bobby sang the blues
[G7] And buddy that was good enough for me; / / / [G7*]
[NC] good enough for me and [G7] bobby Mc [C] Gee.
[C] La, la, la……… La, la, la……me and Bobby Mc [G7] Gee
[G7] La, la, la……… La, la, la……me and Bobby Mc [C] Gee [C7]
