ME AND BOBBY McGEE Words and music: Kris Kristofferson C Busted flat in Baton Rouge, headin' for the train 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 C I took my harpoon out of my dirty red bandanna C7 F And was blowing sad while Bobby sang the blues With those windshield wipers slappin' time C And Bobby clappin' hands G7 C We finally sang up every song that driver knew 1st Chorus: 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 Feeling good was easy Lord when Bobby sang the blues G7 Feeling good was good enough for me C Good enough for me and Bobby McGee From the coal mines of Kentucky to the California sun Bobby shared the secrets of my soul Standin' right beside me Lord Through everything I've done And every night she kept me from the cold Then somewhere near Salinas Lord I let her slip away Lookin' for the home I hope she'll find And I'd trade all of my tomorrows For a single yesterday Holdin' Bobby's body next to mine 2nd Chorus: Freedom's just another word for nothin' left to lose Nothin' left is all she left for me Feeling good was easy Lord when Bobby sang the blues And buddy that was good enough for me Good enough for me and Bobby McGee
