Me and Bobby McGhee

Busted flat in Baton Rouge, waiting for the train
C7 C G
feelin´ `bout as faded as my jeans
Bobby flagged the diesel down just before it rained
G7 C
- took us all the way to New Orleans.
Then I pulled my harpoon out of my dirty red bandana
C7 F
and was blowin´ sad while Bobby sang the Blues
C
with the windshieldwipers flappin´ time and Bobby clappin´ hands
G G7 C C7
we finally sung up every song the driver knew.

Ref.: Freedom´s just another word for nothing left to loose,
G G7 C C7
nothing ain´t worth nothing, but it´s real.

Feelin´ good was easy while Bobby sang the Blues,
G G7 C
feelin´ good was good enough for me, good enough for me and Bobby McGhee
From the coalmines of Kentucky to the California sun
Bobby shared the secrets of my soul.
Standing right beside me, Lord, through ev´rything I done
and ev´ry night she´d kept me from the cold.
Then one day near Salina I let her slip away
looking for the home I hope she´ll find
and I´ll trade all my tomorrows for one single yesterday
holding Bobby´s body close to mine.
