Me and Bobby McGee

Kris Kristofferson / Janis Joplin

Intro
D
Busted flat in Baton Rouge, headin' for the trains,
A7
feelin' nearly faded as my jeans.
Bobby thumbed a diesel down just before it rains, 
D
Took us all the way to New Orleans.
 
I took my harpoon out of my dirty red bandana 
D7 G
And was blowin' sad while Bobby sang the blues.
G D
With them Windshield wipers slappin' time, and Bobby clappin' hands we finely
A7 D
sang up every song that driver knew.
G D
Freedom's just another word for nothing left to lose.
A7 D
Nothing ain't worth nothing but it's free.
G D
Feeling good was easy, Lord, when Bobby sang the blues.
A7
Feeling good was good enough for me,
D E
Good enough for me and Bobby McGee.
 
From the coal mines of Kentucky to the California sun 
B7
Bobby shared the secrets of my soul.
Standin' right beside me, Lord, through everything I've done, 
E
Every Night she kept me from the cold.
 
E
Then somewhere near Salinas, Lord, I let her slip away;
E7 A
Lookin' for the home and I hope she'll find!
E
And I'd trade all my tomorrows for a single yesterday,
B7 E
Holding Bobby's body close to mine.
A E
Freedom's just another word for nothing left to lose.
B7 E
Nothing ain't worth nothing, But it's free.
 
Feeling good was easy, Lord, when Bobby sang the blues. 
Feeling good was good enough for me, 
Good enough for me and Bobby McGee.
