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
