Me and Bobby McGee
Kris Kristofferson

Intro:[G]  [C]  [G]  [C]  [G]  [C]  [G]

G
Busted flat in Baton Rouge, waitin' for a train
                                  D7      D
When I's feelin' near as faded as my jeans
D7
Bobby thumbed a diesel down just before it rained
                                   G   C
And rode us all the way into New Orleans

  G
I pulled my harpoon out of my dirty red bandana
                       G7               C
I's playin' soft while Bobby sang the blues
C                                     G
Windshield wipers slappin' time, I was holdin' Bobby's hand in mine
D7                                 D
We sang every song that driver knew

C                               G
Freedom's just another word for nothin' left to lose
D7                                             G
Nothin', it ain't nothin' honey, if it ain't free
    C                               G
And feelin' good was easy, lord, oh, when he sang the blues
         D7                                  D
You know feelin' good was good enough for me
D7                                G    G  A
Good enough for me and my Bobby McGee

         A
From the Kentucky coal mines to the California sun
                                  E7      E
Yeah Bobby shared the secrets of my soul
        E7
Through all kinds of weather, through everything we done
                                 A
Yeah Bobby baby kept me from the cold

    A
One day up near Salinas, lo-ord, I let him slip away
                       A7                 D
He's lookin' for that home and I hope he finds it
         D                              A
Well I'd trade all my tomorrows for one single yesterday
      E7                               E
To be holdin' Bobby's body next to mine

Chorus:

      A
La da da, la da daa, la da daa da daa da daa
                               E7
La da da da d[A]aa dadada Bobby McGee-ah
E7
Laa li daa da daa daa, la da daa da daa
E7                          A
Laa la laa la daada Bobby McGee-ah yeah

Repeat: and Chorus:
