Me and Bobby Mcgee by Olivia Newton John
Key: DD | Capo: 0fr |  Left-Handed 

    


Verse1:  
  
  
  D  
  Busted flat in Baton rouge, headin' for the trains  
                             A  
  Feelin' nearly faded as my jeans  
  A  
  Bobby thumbed a diesel down, just before it rained  
  A7                           D  
  Took us all the way to New Orleans  
  
  
    D  
  I took my harpoon out of my dirty red bandanna  
                          D7             G  
  I was blowin' sad while Bobby sang the blues  
                              G6            G   D  
  With them windshield wipers slappin' time and Bobby clappin' hands   
             A             A7               D  
  We finally sang up every song that driver knew  
  
  
  
Chorus1:  
  
  G               G6          G   D  
  Freedom's just another word for nothin' left to lose  
      A                   A7               D  
  And nothin' ain't worth nothin' but it's free  
  G                G6         G    D  
  Feelin' good was easy, Lord when Bobby sang the blues  
      A                                A7             D  
  And feelin' good was good enough for me and Bobby McGee  
  
  
  
Verse2:  
  
  
           D  
  From the coal mines of Kentucky, to the California sun  
                                 A  
  Bobby shared the secrets of my soul  
  A  
  Standin' right beside me, through everything I've done  
      A7                              D  
  And every night he kept me from the cold  
  
  
       D  
  Then somewhere near Salinas, I let him slip away  
                  D7                 G  
  Lookin' for the home I hope he'll find  
                          G6      G     D  
  And I'll trade all my tomorrows for a single yesterday   
  A               A7           D  
  Holdin' Bobby's body next to mine  
  
  
  
Chorus2:  
  
  
  G               G6          G   D  
  Freedom's just another word for nothin' left to lose  
      A                   A7               D  
  And nothin' ain't worth nothin' but it's free   
  G                    G6         G    D  
  Ah, feelin' good was easy, Lord when Bobby sang the blues  
  A                               A7             D  
  Feelin good was good enough for me and Bobby
