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 (x02220@1)flat in Baton Rouge and heading for the trains
Efeeling (022100@1)nearly faded as my jeans
Bobby thumbed a diesel down just before it rained
Atook (x02220@1)us all the way to New Orleans
I took my harpoon out of my dirty red bandanna
Dand (xx0232@1)was blowing sad while Bobby sang the Blues
with them windshield wipers slapping time
A (x02220@1) E (022100@1) Aand (x02220@1)Bobby clapping hands we finally sang up every song that driver knew
D (xx0232@1) AFreedom (x02220@1)is just another word for nothing left to lose
E (022100@1) ANothing (x02220@1)ain't worth nothing but it's free
D (xx0232@1) AFeeling (x02220@1)good was easy Lord when Bobby sang the Blues
EFeeling (022100@1)good was good enough for me
Agood (x02220@1)enough for me and Bobby McGee
B>From (x2444x@1)the coal mines of Kentucky to the California sun
F#Bobby (244322@1)shared the secrets of my soul
Standing right beside me Lord through everything I done
BEvery (x2444x@1)night she kept me from the cold
Then somewhere near Salinas Lord I let her slip away
Esearching (022100@1)for the home I hope she'll find
BAnd (x2444x@1)I'd trade all my tomorrows for a single yesterday
F# (244322@1) Bholding (x2444x@1)Bobby's body next to mine
E (022100@1) BFreedom (x2444x@1)is just another word for nothing left to lose
F# (244322@1) BNothing (x2444x@1)left is all she left for me
E (022100@1) BFeeling (x2444x@1)good was easy Lord when Bobby sang the Blues
Buddy that was good enough for me
Bgood (x2444x@1)enough for me and Bobby McGee
(Fade out with)
La de da de da de da da La de da de da
F#La (244322@1)de da da me and Bobby McGee
La de da de da de da da La de da de da
BLa (x2444x@1)de da da me and Bobby McGee
