Me and Bobby McGee

Intro: D - G   D - G   D - G   D - G

Verse 1:
D
Busted flat in Baton Rouge, waitin' for a train
                                   A7
When I's feelin' near as faded as my jeans
A7
Bobby thumbed a diesel down just before it rained
A7                                 D
And rode us all the way into New Orleans

Verse 2:
  D
I pulled my harpoon out of my dirty red bandana
                                        G
I's playin' soft while Bobby sang the blues
                                       D
Windshield wipers slappin' time, I was holdin' Bobby's hand in mine
A7                            
We sang every song that driver knew

Refrain:
G                              D                 
Freedom's just another word for nothin' left to lose
A7                                            D
Nothin', it ain't nothin' honey, if it ain't free
    G                               D
And feelin' good was easy, lord, oh, when he sang the blues
         A7               
You know feelin' good was good enough for me
                                  D      E  
Good enough for me and my Bobby McGee

Verse 3:
         E
From the Kentucky coal mines to the California sun
                                  H7
Yeah Bobby shared the secrets of my soul
        H7
Through all kinds of weather, through everything we done
     H7                          E
Yeah Bobby baby kept me from the cold

Verse 4:
    E
One day up near Salinas, lo-ord, I let him slip away
     E                                    A
He's lookin' for that home and I hope he finds it
                                        E
Well I'd trade all my tomorrows for one single yesterday
      H7
To be holdin' Bobby's body next to mine

Refrain:
A                              E
Freedom's just another word for nothin' left to lose
H7                                 E
Nothin', and that's all that Bobby left me
      A                           E
Well, feelin' good was easy, lo-o-ord, when he sang the blues
    H7
And feelin' good was good enough for me
H7                               E
Good enough for me and my Bobby McGee yeah
