Me and Bobby McGee chords
Start Jamming...
[B] If it sounds country, man, [C#m] that's what it is.
[A] It's a country song.
[Bm] [A] Yeah, okay.
One, two, three, four, one, two, three, four.
Busted flat and battened rouge
Headin' for the trains
Feelin' nearly faded [E] as my jeans
Bobby thumbed a diesel down
Just before it rained
Took us all away to [A] New Orleans
I took my heart bone out of my dirty red
Bandana and was blowin' sad while Bobby [D] sang the blues
With them windshiew wipers
Slappin' [A] time and Bobby clapping hands
We [E] finally sang a bell, the song that [A] driver knew
[C] [D]
Freedom's just another [A] word for
nothing left to lose
[E] Nothing ain't worth nothin', [A] but it's free
[C#m] [D] Feelin' good was easy, [A] Lord, when Bobby sang the blues
[E] Feelin' good was good enough for me
Good enough for me and Bobby [A] McGee
From [B]
the coal mines of Kentucky to the California sun
Bobby shared the secrets of [F#] my soul
Standing right beside me, Lord
Everything I've 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 hope [E] she'll find
And I'd trade all my tomorrows for [B] a single yesterday
[F#] Holding Bobby's body next [B] to mine
[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#] [E] Feelin' 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] McGee
