BOBBY McGEE

(C)Busted flat in Baton Rouge and heading for the trains,
Feeling nearly faded as my (G7)jeans.
Bobby thumbed a diesel down just before it rained.
Took us all the way to New Or(C)leans.
I took my harpoon out of my dirty red bandanna,
And was blowing sad while Bobby sang the (F)blues,
With them windshield wipers slapping time and (C)Bobby's hand in mine,
We (G7)finally sang up every song that driver ever (C)knew.

CHORUS:
(F)Freedom is just another word for (C)nothing left to lose,
(G7)Nothing ain't worth nothing but it's (C)free.
(F)Feeling good was easy Lord when (C)Bobby sang the blues,
(G7)Feeling good was good enough for me,
Good enough for me and Bobby(C) McGee.

(C)From the Kentucky coal mines to the California sun,
Bobby shared the secrets of my (G7)soul.
Standing right beside me, Lord, through everything I done,
Every night she kept me from the(C) cold.
Then some where near Salinas, Lord, I let her slip away,
Searching for the home I hope she'll (F)find.
And I'd trade all my tomorrows for a(C) single yesterday,
(G7)Holding Bobby's body close to (C)mine.

Chorus  Then
La de da de da de da da la de da de da,
La de da da me and Bobby (G7)McGee.
La de da de da de da da la de da de da,
La de da da me and Bobby (C) McGee.

(C)Then somewhere near Salinas, Lord, I let her slip away,

Searching for the home I hope she'll (F)find.
And I'd trade all my tomorrows for a (C)single yesterday,
(G7)Holding Bobby's body close to (C)mine.

La de da de da de da da la de da de da,
La de da da me and Bobby (G7)McGee.
La de da de da de da da la de da de da,
La de da da me and Bobby (C)McGee.
