Me And Bobby McGee chords
Janis Joplin
G C 4x
G
Busted flat in Baton Rouge, waitin' for a train
D D7
When It's feelin' near as faded as my jeans
D
Bobby thumbed a diesel down just before it rained
G C G
And rode us all the way into New Orleans
I pulled my harpoon out of my dirty red bandana
G7 C
It's playin' soft while Bobby sang the blues
G
Windshield wipers slappin' time, I was holdin' Bobby's hand in mine
D7
We sang every song that driver knew
C G
Freedom's just another word for nothin' left to lose
D7 G
Nothin', it ain't nothin' honey, if it ain't free
C G
And feelin' good was easy, lord, oh, when he sang the blues
D7
You know feelin' good was good enough for me
G A
Good enough for me and my Bobby McGee
A
From the Kentucky coal mines to the California sun
E7
Yeah Bobby shared the secrets of my soul
Through all kinds of weather, through everything we done
A
Yeah Bobby baby kept me from the cold
[ Tab from: https://www.guitartabs.cc/tabs/j/janis_joplin/me_and_bobby_mcgee_crd_ver_3.html ]
One day up near Salinas, lo-ord, I let him slip away
A7 D
He's lookin' for that home and I hope he finds it
A
Well I'd trade all my tomorrows for one single yesterday
E7
To be holdin' Bobby's body next to mine
D A
Freedom's just another word for nothin' left to lose
E7 A
Nothin', and that's all that Bobby left me
D A
Well, feelin' good was easy, lo-o-ord, when he sang the blues
E7
and feelin' good was good enough for me
