Janis Joplin - Me And Bobby Mcgee

G
busted flat in baton rouge waitin’ for a train
D
feelin’ nearly faded as my jeans .
D
bobby thumbed a diesel down just before it rained
D7 G – C – G
rode us all the way to new orleans .
G
i pulled my harpoon out of my dirty red bandanna
G7 C
i was playin’ soft while bobby sang the blues .
C G
windshield wipers slappin’ time , i was holdin’ bobby’s hand in mine
D D7
we sang every song that driver knew .

C G
freedom’s just another word for nothin’ left to lose ,
D D7 G – G7
nothin’ don’t mean nothin’ if it ain’t free .
C G
feelin’ good was easy , lord , when he sang the blues .
D – D7
feelin’ good was good enough for me ,
G
good enough for me and bobby mcgee .

G
from the kentucky coal mines to the california sun ,
D
bobby shared the secrets of my soul .
D
through all kinds of weather , through everything we done ,
D7 G – C – G
hey , bobby’s body kept me from the cold .
G
one day up near salinas , lord , i let him slip away ,
G7 C
he’s lookin’ for that home and i hope he finds it .
C G
but i’d trade all my tomorrows for one single yesterday ,
D D7
to be holdin’ bobby’s body next to mine .

C G
freedom’s just another word for nothin’ left to lose ,
D D7 G
and nothin’ ain’t worth nothin’ , but it’s free .
C G
and feelin’ good was easy , lord , when bobby sang the blues ,
D – D7
and feelin’ good was good enough for me
G
oh , good enough for me and my bobby mcgee .
