Me and Bobby McGee Chords by Janis Joplin

[Start]

[Verse]
G                                               
■ Busted flat in Baton Rouge waitin' for a train
                                  D       
When I's feelin' near as faded as my jeans
      D                                          
Bobby thumbed a diesel down just before it rained
D                                G      
And rode us all the way into New Orleans
                           G7           G      
I pulled my harpoon out of my dirty red bandana
                       G7             C    
I's playin' soft while Bobby sang the blues
                                G                               
Windshield wipers slappin' time I's holdin' Bobby's hand in mine
D                                  
We sang every song that driver knew


[Chorus]
C                            G                       
Freedom is just another word for nothin' left to lose
D7                                          G        
Nothin' don't mean nothin' hon' if it ain't free nono
    C                     G                          
And feelin' good was easy Lord when he sang the blues
         D7      D                          
You know feelin' good was good enough for me
                                G     A
Good enough for me and my Bobby McGee ■


[Verse]
A7          A                                       
■  From the Kentucky coal mine to the California sun
                                  E7      E
There Bobby shared the secrets of my soul ■
        E7  E                                          
Through all kinds of weather through everything we done
     E7                          A   
Yeah Bobby baby kept me from the cold


[Chorus]
    A                                           
One day up near Salinas Lord I let him slip away
                                         D       
He's lookin' for that home and I hope he finds it
                                          A               
But I'd trade all of my tomorrows for one single yesterday
      E                            E7  
To be holdin' Bobby's body next to mine
D                                        A           
Freedom is just another word for nothin' left to lose
E                    E7             A           
■ Nothin' and that's all that Bobby left me yeah
D                         A                          
But feelin' good was easy Lord when he sang the blues
E                                              
That feelin' good was good enough for me mmmhmm
E7                              A    
Good enough for me and my Bobby McGee
