Me And Bobby Mcgee chords by The Highwaymen

Tuning: Standard (E A D G B E)


Intro:
C G

Verse 1:
C
Busted flat in Baton Rouge headed for the trains
C             G
Feelin' nearly faded as my jeans
G
Bobby thumbed a diesel down just before it rained
               C
Took us all the way to New Orleans
C

I took my har'poon out of my dirty red bandanna
                    F
I was Blowing' sad while Bobby sang the blues
     F
With them windshield wipers slappin' time
  C
And Bobby clappin' hands
      G               C
We finally sang up ever song that driver knew


Chorus:
F                C
Freedom's just another word for nothin' left to lose
G                  C
Nothin' ain't worth nothin' but it's free
F                C
Feeling good was easy Lord when Bobby sang the blues
G
Feeling good was good enough for me
                C
Good enough for me and Bobby McGee


Verse 2:
D
From the coal mines of Kentucky to the California sun
                A
Bobby shared the secrets of my soul
A
Standin' right beside me Lord through everything I done
                  D
Every night she'd keep me from the cold
     D
And then one day near Salinas Lord I let it slipped away
                   G
Searching' for the home I hope you'll find
                    D
And I'd trade all my tomorrows for one single yesterday
A               D
Holding Bobby's body close to mine


Chorus:
G                D
Freedom's just another word for nothin' left to lose
A                  D
Nothin' ain't worth nothin' but it's free
G                D
Feeling good was easy Lord, when Bobby sang the blues
A
Feeling good was good enough for me
               D
Good enough for me and Bobby McGee


Bridge:
D A D G D A D


Outro:
G                D
Freedom's just another word for nothin' left to lose
A                  D
Nothin' ain't worth nothin' but it's free
G                D
Feeling good was easy Lord, when Bobby sang the blues
A
Buddy that was good enough for me
                D
Good enough for me and Bobby McGee
