CBUSTED FLAT IN CBATON ROUGE,
CHEADIN FOR THE TRAINS;
CFEELIN NEARLY CFADED AS MY G7JEANS,
G7BOBBY THUMBED A G7DIESEL DOWN
G7JUST BEFORE IT G7RAINED;
G7TOOK US ALL THE G7WAY TO NEW ORCLEANS.
CI TOOK MY HARPCON OUT OF MY CDIRTY RED BANCDANNA
AND WAS BLOWIN' CSAD WHILE C7BOBBY SANG THE FBLUES;
F_ _ WITH THEM FWINDSHIELD WIPERS FSLAPPIN TIME
AND CBOBBY'S CLAPPIN CHANDS WE FINALLY
G7SANG EVERY G7SONG THAT DRIVER CKNEW
FFREEDOM'S JUST ANFOTHER WORD FOR NOTCHIN LEFT TO CLOSE,
G7NOTHIN' AIN'T WORTH G7NOTHIN' BUT IT'S CFREE;
FFEELIN' GOOD WAS FEASY, LORD WHEN CBOBBY SANG THE CBLUES;
G7AND FEELIN WAS G7GOOD ENOUGH FOR G7ME,
G7GOOD ENOUGH FOR G7ME AND BOBBY MCCGEE
C_ _ FROM THE CCOAL MINES OF KENCTUCKY
TO THE CCALIFORNIA CSUN,
CBOBBY SHARED THE CSECRETS OF MY G7SOUL;
G7STANDIN' RIGHT BEG7SIDE ME, LORD
G7THROUGH EVERYTHING I G7DONE,
G7AND EVERY NIGHT SHE G7KEPT ME FROM THE CCOLD.
C_ _ _ THEN CSOMEWHERE NEAR SACLINAS, LORD,
I CLET HER SLIP ACWAY
CLOOKIN' FOR THE C7HOME I HOPE SHE'LL FFIND;
F_ AND I'D TRADE FALL OF MY TOFMORROWS
FOR A CSINGLE YESTERDAY
G7HOLDIN BOBBY'S G7BODY NEXT TO MINCE
FFREEDOM'S JUST ANFOTHER WORD FOR NOTCHIN LEFT TO CLOSE,
G7NOTHIN' AIN'T WORTH G7NOTHIN' BUT IT'S CFREE;
FFEELIN' GOOD WAS FEASY, LORD WHEN CBOBBY SANG THE CBLUES;
G7AND FEELIN WAS G7GOOD ENOUGH FOR G7ME,
G7GOOD ENOUGH FOR G7ME AND BOBBY MCCGEE

ME AND BOBBY MCGEE
BY KRIS KRISTOFFERSON
I am not sure which album this song is on, but I have always considered it
a classic. I have been playing it this way for sometime, and it sounds OK.
I use a capo on the second fret so that the song can be played in the simple
keys of G and A.
Dwight
ABusted flat in Baton Rouge and heading for the trains
feeling nearly faded as myE jeans
Bobby thumbed a diesel down just before it rained
took us all the way to NewA Orleans
I took my harpoon out of my dirty red bandanna
and was blowing sad while Bobby sang theD Blues
with them windshield wipers slapping time
andA Bobby clapping hands we finallyE sang up every songA that driver knew
DFreedom is just another word forA nothing left to lose
ENothing ain't worth nothing but it'sA free
DFeeling good was easy Lord whenA Bobby sang the Blues
EFeeling good was good enough for me
good enough for me and BobbyA McGee
B>From the coal mines of Kentucky to the California sun
Bobby shared the secrets of myF# soul
Standing right beside me Lord through everything I done
Every night she kept me from theB cold
Then somewhere near Salinas Lord I let her slip away
searching for the home I hope she'llE find
And I'd trade all my tomorrows for aB single yesterday
F#holding Bobby's body next toB mine
EFreedom is just another word forB nothing left to lose
F#Nothing left is all she left forB me
EFeeling good was easy Lord whenB Bobby sang the Blues
Buddy that was good enough for me
good enough for me and BobbyB McGee
(Fade out with)
La de da de da de da da La de da de da
La de da da me and BobbyF# McGee
La de da de da de da da La de da de da
La de da da me and BobbyB McGee
