Me And Bobbie McGee by Kris Kristofferson
Chords used in this song
DBusted flat in Baton Rouge, waitin' for a train
And I's feelin' near as faded as my A7jeans
Bobby thumbed a diesel down, just before it rained
It rode us all the way to New
DOrleans
I pulled my harpoon out of my dirty red bandanna
I was playin' soft while Bobby sang the
Gblues, yeah
Windshield wipers slappin' time, I was
D holdin' Bobby's hand in mine
We
A7sang every song that driver
Dknew
GFreedom's just another word for
Dnothin' left to lose
A7Nothin', don't mean nothin' hon' if it ain't
Dfree, no no
And,
Gfeelin' good was easy, Lord, when
Dhe sang the blues
You know, A7feelin' good was good enough for me
Good enough for me and my Bobby
DMcGee
From the Kentucky
Dcoal mine to the California sun
There Bobby shared the secrets of my A7soul
Through all kinds of weather, through everything we done
Yeah, Bobby baby kept me from the
D cold
One day up near Salinas, Lord, I let him slip away
He's lookin' for that home, and I hope he
Gfinds it
But, I'd trade all of my tomorrows, for a
Dsingle yesterday
To be
A7holdin' Bobby's body next to
Dmine
GFreedom's just another word for
Dnothin' left to lose
A7Nothin', don't mean nothin' hon' if it ain't
Dfree, no no
And,
Gfeelin' good was easy, Lord, when
Dhe sang the blues
You know, A7feelin' good was good enough for me
Good enough for me and my Bobby
DMcGee
Verse 1
[D]Busted flat in Baton Rouge, waitin' for a train
And I's feelin' near as faded as my [A7]jeans
Bobby thumbed a diesel down, just before it rained
It rode us all the way to New [D]Orleans
I pulled my harpoon out of my dirty red bandanna
I was playin' soft while Bobby sang the [G]blues, yeah
Windshield wipers slappin' time, I was[D] holdin' Bobby's hand in mine
We [A7]sang every song that driver [D]knew
Chorus
[G]Freedom's just another word for [D]nothin' left to lose
[A7]Nothin', don't mean nothin' hon' if it ain't [D]free, no no
And, [G]feelin' good was easy, Lord, when [D]he sang the blues
You know, [A7]feelin' good was good enough for me
Good enough for me and my Bobby [D]McGee
Verse 2
From the Kentucky [D]coal mine to the California sun
There Bobby shared the secrets of my [A7]soul
Through all kinds of weather, through everything we done
Yeah, Bobby baby kept me from the[D] cold
One day up near Salinas, Lord, I let him slip away
He's lookin' for that home, and I hope he [G]finds it
But, I'd trade all of my tomorrows, for a [D]single yesterday
To be [A7]holdin' Bobby's body next to [D]mine
Chorus
[G]Freedom's just another word for [D]nothin' left to lose

You know, [A7]feelin' good was good enough for me
Good enough for me and my Bobby [D]McGee
