Me and Bobby McGee
written by Kristofferson/Foster
Corrections welcome.
C (muted)
Busted flat in Baton Rouge, headin' for the trains
[C]Feelin' nearly faded as my j[G]eans
Bobby thumbed a diesel down just before it rained
Took us all the way to New Or[C]leans
I took my mouth harp out of my old dirty red bandana
I was playin' sad while Bobby [C7]sang the b[F]lues
Those windshield wipers slappin' time and B[C]obby's clappin' hands we finally
[G]Sang up every song that driver k[C]new, w[C7]hoa
[F]Freedom's just another word for [C]nothin' left to lose
[G]Nothin' ain't worth nothin' but it's f[C]ree, [C7]whoa
[F]Feelin' good was easy Lord when [C]Bobby sang the blues
G N/C
Feelin' good was good enough for me, Bobby McGee
(Key change)
D (muted)
[D]Bobby shared the secrets of my s[A]oul
Standin' right beside me Lord thru everything I done
And every night she kept me from the c[D]old
Then somewhere near Salinas Lord I let her slip away
Lookin' for the home I hope she'll f[G]ind
I'd trade all of my tomorrows for a s[D]ingle yesterday
[A]Holdin' Bobby's body next to m[D]ine, [Dsus2]whoa
[G]Freedom's just another word for not[D]hin' left to lose
[A]Nothin' left is all she left for [D]me, [Dsus2]whoa
[G]Feelin' good was easy Lord when [D]Bobby sang the blues
A N/C Dsus2
Feelin' good was good enough for me, Bobby McGee, whoa
[G]Freedom's just another word for no[D]thin' left to lose
[A]Nothin' ain't worth nothin' but it's [D]free, [Dsus2]whoa
[G]Feelin' good was easy Lord when [D]Bobby sang the blues
