Me And Bobby Mcgee - Willie Nelson
Intro: A E A D A E A
A
Busted flat in Baton Rouge
I'm headin for the train
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
I took my harpoon out of my dirty red bandana
A7 D
and was blowin sad while Bobby sang the blues
and with the Windshield wipers slappin time
A
and Bobby clappin hands
E A
we finally sang up every song that driver knew
D A
Freedom's just another word for nothins left to lose
E A
Nothin ain't worth nothin but it's free
D A
And feelin good was easy, lord, when Bobby sang the blues
E
and buddy that was good enough for me
E A
Good enough for me and my Bobby McGee
Instrumental A E A D A E A
A
From the Kentucky coal mines to the California sun
E
Bobby shared the secrets of my soul
standin right beside me lord
through everything I'd done
A
and every night she kept me from the cold
then somewhere near Salinas, lord I let her slip away
A7 D
lookin' for the home I hope she'll find
A
and I'd trade all my tomorrows for a single yesterday
E A
for holdin Bobby's body next to mine
D A
Freedom's just another word for nothins left to lose
E A
and nothin ain't worth nothin but it's free
D A
and feelin' good was easy, lord, when Bobby sang the blues
E
buddy that was good enough for me
A
Good enough for me and Bobby McGee...
