ME AND BOBBY McGEE (Kris Kristofferson) C Busted flat in Baton Rouge headin' for the trains G7 feelin' nearly faded as my jeans Bobby thumbed a diesel down just before it rained C took us all the way to New Orleans I took my harpoon out of my dirty red bandanna C7 F And was blowin' sad while Bobby sang the blues C With them windshield wipers slappin' time and Bobby clappin' hands G7 C We fin'ly sang up ev'ry song that driver knew F C Freedom's just another word for nothin' left to lose G7 C Nothin' ain't worth nothin' but it's free F C Feelin' good was easy, Lord when Bobby sang the blues G7 And feelin' good was good enough for me C good enough for me and Bobby McGee C From the coal mines of Kentucky to the California sun G7 Bobby shared the secrets of my soul Standin' right beside me, Lord, through everything I done C and every night she kept me from the cold Then somewhere near Salin as, Lord, I let her slip away C7 F lookin' for the home I hope she'll find C And I'd trade all of my tomorrows for a single yesterday G7 C Holdin' Bobby's body next to mine F C Freedom's just another word for nothin' left to lose G7 C Nothin' left is all she left for me F C Feelin' good was easy, Lord when Bobby sang the blues G7 And buddy that was good enough for me C Good enough for me and Bobby McGee
