Me and Bobby McGee chords
Start Jamming...
[G] If it sounds country, man, that's what it is.
[A] It's a country song.
[Bm] Yeah, [D] okay.
One, two, three, four.
One, two, three, [A] four.
Busted flat and batting rouge and heading for the trains
Feeling nearly faded as my [E] jeans
Bobby thumbed a diesel down just before it rained
Took us all away to [A] New Orleans
I took my heart phone out of my dirty red bandana
And was blowing sad while Bobby sang the [D] blues
With them windshield wipers slapping time
[A] And Bobby [D] clapping hands
We [E] finally sang or felt a song that driver [A] knew
[C] [C#m] [D] Freedom's just another word [A] for nothing left to lose
[E] Nothing ain't worth nothing [A] but it's free
[Bm] [C] [C#m] [D] Feeling good was easy, Lord, [A] when Bobby sang the blues
[E] Feeling good was good enough for me
Good enough for me and Bobby [A] McGee
[B]
From the coal mines of Kentucky to the California sun
Bobby shared the secrets of [F#] my soul
Standing right beside me, Lord, everything I'd done
Every night she kept me from [B] the cold
Then somewhere near Salinas, Lord, I let her slip away
Looking for the home I hoped [E] she'd find
And I'd trade all my tomorrows for [B] a single yesterday
[F#] Holding Bobby's body next [B] to mine
[C#] [D] [D#] [E] Freedom's just another word [B] for nothing left to lose
[F#] Nothing left is all she left [B] for me
[D#] Feeling [E] good was easy, Lord, [B] when Bobby sang the blues
[F#] But if that was good enough for me
Good enough for me and Bobby [B]
