Me and Bobby McGee - Kris Kristofferson Intro: [G][G] [G] [G] Verse 1: [G] Busted flat in Baton Rouge, headin’ for the trains feelin’ nearly faded as my [D7] jeans Bobby thumbed a diesel down, just before it rained Took us all the way to New Or [G] leans I took my harpoon out of my dirty red bandana And was blowin’ sad while Bobby sang the [C] blues, With them windshield wipers slapping time, and [G] Bobby clapping hands with mine We [D7] sang every song that driver [G] knew [G7] |Chorus: |[C] Freedom’s just another word for [G] nothing left to lose |[D7] Nothin’ ain’t worth nothin’, but it’s [G] free |[C] Feeling good was easy, Lord, when [G] Bobby sang the blues |[D7] Feeling good was good enough for me, |Good enough for me and Bobby Mc [G] Gee. [Key change] [A][A][A][A] Verse 2: From the [A] coal mines of Kentucky to the California sun Bobby shared the secrets of my [E7] soul Standin’ right beside me, Lord, through everything I’d done Every night she kept me from the [A] cold Then somewhere near Selinas Lord, I let her slip away Lookin’ for the home I hope she’ll [D] find But I’d trade all my tomorrows for a [A] single yesterday [E7] holdin’ Bobby’s body next to [A] mine [A7] |Chorus: |[D] Freedom’s just another word for [A] nothing left to lose |[E7] Nothin’ left is all she left for [A] me |[D] Feeling good was easy, Lord, when [A] Bobby sang the blues |[E7] Buddy that was good enough for me, |Good enough for me and Bobby Mc [A] Gee.
