Waylon Jennings - "Me and Bobby McGee" [Live from Austin, TX] chords
Jam Along & Learn...
[C] Busted flat and back and [G] reaching, heading for the train
[G] as my jean
a diesel down just before it rained
Took us all away to [C] New Orleans
I took my harpoon out of my dirty red bandana
I was playing sad while Bobby sang the [F] blues
With them windshield wipers slapping time and [C] Bobby clapping hands

_ _ _ [C] Busted flat and back and [G] reaching, heading for the train
[C] Feeling nearly faded [G] as my jean
_ _ _ Bobby thumbed a diesel down just before it rained _
Took us all away to [C] New Orleans _ _ _
I took my harpoon out of my dirty red bandana
I was playing sad while Bobby sang the [F] blues
With them windshield wipers slapping time and [C] Bobby clapping hands
We [G] finally sang up [G] every song at [C] drive-a-do
_ _ _ [F] Freedom's just another [C] word for nothing left to lose
_ [G] Nothing ain't worth nothing but it's [C] true
_ _ [F] Feeling good was easy, Lord, [C] when Bobby sang the blues
[G] Feeling good was good enough for me
Good _ _ enough for me and Bobby [C] McGee _ _ _
[D] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
From the coal mines of Kentucky to the California sun
Bobby shared the secrets of [A] my soul _
_ Standing right beside me, Lord, through everything I've done
Every night should keep me from [D] the cold
_ _ Somewhere near Salinas, Lord, I let her slip away
Looking for the home I hope [G] she'll find
_ I'd trade all of my [D] tomorrows for just one yesterday
[A] Holding Bobby's body close to [B] mine
_ _ [G] Freedom's just another word for [D] nothing left to lose
[A] Nothing ain't worth nothing but [D] it's free
_ Feeling [G] _ good was easy, Lord, when Bobby sang the blues
_ [A] Feeling good was good enough for me
_ _ _ Good enough for me and [D] Bobby McGee
_ La-da-da da-da-da-da La-da-da-da
La-da-da me and Bobby McGee _ _
La-da-da da-da-da da-da-da
La _ -da-da me and Bobby McGee _ _ _

[E] _ _ _ _ Here's the song that I wrote about myself, me and Tony Joe White did, but as I look around
the audience I may have wrote it about a couple of y'all too.
