Me And Bobby Mcgee

| A | A | A | A |

[Verse 1]
A
Busted flat in Baton Rouge, waiting for the trains.
                             E7
Feeling 'bout as faded as my jeans.
E7
Bobby flagged the diesel down, just before it rained.
E                             A
 Took us all the way to New Orleans.
A
Then I pulled my harpoon out of my dirty red bandana.
                                          D
And was blowing sad, while Bobby sang the blues
D
With the windshield wipers slapping time.
    A
And Bobby's hand in mine we finally:
E                               A
Sung up every song, that driver knew.

[Chorus]
D                               A
Freedoms just another word, for nothing left to lose.
E                                   A
Nothing ain’t worth nothing but its free, yes it's free.
D                                 A
Feeling good was easy Lord, while Bobby sang the blues
E
Feeling good was good enough for me, for me.
                               A
Good enough for me and Bobby McGee

[Verse 2]
A
From the coalmines in Kentucky to the California sun.
                               E
Bobby shared the secrets of my soul
                               E7
Standing right beside Lord, to everything I'd done.
E                                      A
And every night she'd keep me from the cold.
A
And the one day near Salinas Lord, I let her slip away.
                                      D
Looking for the home I'll hope she'll find.
                                       A
And I'd trade all my tomorrows for one single yesterday.
E7                           A
Holding Bobby's body next to mine.

[Chorus]
D                               A
Freedoms just another word, for nothing left to lose.
E                                    A
Nothing ain’t worth nothing but it's free, but it's free.
D                                 A
Feeling good was easy Lord, while Bobby sang the blues
E
And feeling good was good enough for me.
                               A      A
Good enough for me and Bobby McGee.
