ME AND BOBBY McGEE
A
Busted flat in Baton Rouge, headin for the trains,
                            E
Feelin nearly faded as my jeans.
Bobby thumbed a diesel down just before it rained,
                          A
Took us all the way to New Orleans.

Took my harpoon out of my dirty red bandana
                          A7              E
And was blowin sad while Bobby sang the blues,

With them windshield wipers slappin time and
         A                      E                               A
Bobby clappin hands we finally sang up every song that driver knew.
D                                A
Freedoms just another word for nothing left to lose,
E                                       A            A7
And nothing aint worth nothing but its free, yes it’s free
D                                  A
Feelin good was easy, Lord, while Bobby sang the blues,
E
Feelin’ good was good enough for me, for me 
                            A
Good enough for me and my Bobby McGee.

SOLO:   D  /    D/E    D
D
From the coalmines of Kentucky to the California sun,
                                A
Bobby shared the secrets of my soul,
Standin right beside me through everything I done,
                                  D        D/E
And every night she kept me from the cold.
D
The somewhere near Salinas, Lord, I let her slip away,
                             G
Lookin for the home I hope shell find,
                                   D
And trade all my tomorrows for a single yesterday,
A                            D    D/E
Holdin Bobbys body close to mine.
G                                D
Freedoms just another word for nothin left to lose,
A                                      D
Nothing ain’t worth nothin’ but it’s free, but it’s free
G                                  D
Feelin good was easy, Lord, when Bobby sang the blues,
A                                  
Feelin’ good was good enough for me, 
                               D
Good enough for me and Bobby McGee
