Me And Bobby Mcgee Live chords by Sierra Ferrell

Key: G


Intro:

G


Verse 1:
G
Real busted flat in Baton Rouge, waitin' for a train
                                    D
When I was feelin' near as faded as my jeans
D
Bobby thumbed a diesel down, just before it rained
                                     G
That rode us all the way in to New Orleans
G

Well, I pulled my harpoon out of my dirty red bandana
                                          C
I was playin' softly while Bobby sang the blues, yeah
                                                      G
And with those windshield wipers slappin' time, I was holdin' Bobby's hand in mine
    D
And we sang every song that driver knew


Chorus:
    C                           G
Oh, freedom's just another word for nothin' left to lose
         D                                               G
And then nothin', don't mean nothin', honey, if it ain't free
             C                       G
And you know feelin' good was easy, Lord, when he sang the blues
         D
You know feelin' good was good enough for me
                                             G     A
Well, it was good enough for me and my Bobby McGee


Verse 2:
A
From the Kentucky coal mines to the California sun
                                     E
Yeah, Bobby shared the secrets of my soul
E
Through all kinds of weather, through everything between
                                  A
Yeah, Bobby baby kept me from the cold
A
One day up near Salinas, I let him slip away
                                                      D
And he's searchin' for that home, and I hope he finds it
                                          A
But I'd trade all of my tomorrows for one single yesterday
      E
To be holdin' Bobby's body next to mine
                                             A
Cause it was good enough for me and my Bobby McGee
