Me And Bobby Mcgee Ukulele by Kris Kristofferson

Chords with lyrics

Tuning: G C E A (G C E A)

INTRO:
Bb Bb Bb Bb

Verse 1:

Bb     Bb       Bb        Bb
Busted flat in Baton Rouge, headin' for the trains
Bb      Bb      F   F
Feelin' nearly faded as my jeans
F      F       F        F
Bobby thumbed a diesel down just before it rained
F      F      Bb   Bb
Took us all the way to New Orleans

Bb     Bb      Bb    Bb
Took my harpoon out of my dirty red bandana
Bb      Bb     Bb       Eb  Eb
And was blowin' sad while Bobby sang the blues
Eb          Eb
With them windshield wipers slappin' time and
Bb            Bb   F
Bobby clappin' hands with mine, we sang every song
      F
That driver knew

Chorus:

Eb         Eb        Bb
Freedom's just another word for nothin' left to lose
 F        F       Bb      Bb
And nothin' ain't worth nothin' but it's free
Eb        Eb       Bb       Bb
Feelin' good was easy, Lord, when Bobby sang the blues
F        F        F
Feeling good was good enough for me
F        F        Bb
Good enough for me and my Bobby McGee.

Musical Break for Key Change:

Bb Bb Bb C C C C

Verse 2:

C           C        C       C
From the coalmines of Kentucky to the California sun
C        C       G7
Bobby shared the secrets of my soul
G7          G7           G7
Standin' right beside me through everythin' I done
  G7                C
And every night she kept me from the cold

C          C       C
Then somewhere near Salinas, Lord, I let her slip away
C            C         F
She was lookin' for the home I hope she'll find
F         F         C
Well I'd trade all my tomorrows for a single yesterday
G7          G7
Holdin' Bobby's body close to mine

Chorus:

F        F        C       C
Freedom's just another word for nothin' left to lose
G7        G7         C   C
And nothin' left was all she left to me
F                C
Feelin' good was easy, Lord, when Bobby sang the blues
G7        G7
feeling good was good enough for me
G7        G7       C
good enough for me and bobby Mc Gee.
