Me and Bobby McGee - Kris Kristofferson

Verse 1:
[A] Busted flat in Baton Rouge, headin’ for the trains 
feelin’ nearly faded as my [E7] jeans
Bobby thumbed a diesel down, just before it rained 
Took us all the way to New Or [A] leans
I took my harpoon out of my dirty red bandana
And was blowin’ sad while Bobby sung the [D] blues, 
With them windshield wipers slapping time,
and [A] Bobby clapping hands with mine
We [E7] sang every song that driver [A] knew

|Chorus:
|[D] Freedom’s just another word for [A] nothing left to lose 
|[E7] Nothin’ ain’t worth nothin’, but it’s [A] free
|[D] Feeling good was easy, Lord, when [A] Bobby sang the blues 
|[E7] Feeling good was good enough for me,
|good enough for me and bobby Mc [A] Gee.

Verse 2:
From the [A] coal mines of Kentucky to the California sun 
Bobby shared the secrets of my [E7] soul
Standin’ right beside me, Lord, through everything I’d done 
Every night she kept me from the [A] cold
Then somewhere near Selinas Lord, I let her slip away 
Lookin’ for the home I hope she’ll [D] find
But I’d trade all my tomorrows for a [A] single yesterday 
[E7] holdin’ Bobby’s body next to [A] mine

|Chorus:
|[D] Freedom’s just another word for [A] nothing left to lose 
|[E7] Nothin’ left is all she left for [A] me
|[D] Feeling good was easy, Lord, when [A] Bobby sang the blues 
|[E7] Buddy that was good enough for me,
|good enough for me and bobby Mc [A] Gee.

Outro:
[A] La-de-da-de-da-de-da-da      La-de-da-de-da      La-de-da-da  me and Bobby Mc [E7] Gee
[E7] La-de-da-de-da-de-da-da      La-de-da-de-da      La-de-da-da  me and Bobby Mc [A] Gee
[A] La-de-da-de-da-de-da-da      La-de-da-de-da      La-de-da-da  me and Bobby Mc [E7] Gee
[E7] La-de-da-de-da-de-da-da      La-de-da-de-da      La-de-da-da  me and Bobby Mc [A] Gee
[A - Double Strum]
