Me and Bobby McGee - Janis Joplin
1.
GD7
Busted flat in Baton Rouge, waitin' for a train, when it's feelin' near as faded as my jeans.
DGCG
Bobby thumbed a diesel down just before it rained and rode us all the way into New Orleans.
2.
I pulled my harpoon out of my dirty red bandana, it's playin' soft while Bobby sang the blues.
Windshield wipers slappin' time, I was holdin' Bobby's hand in mine, we sang every song that driver knew.

Freedom's just another word for nothin' left to lose,
D7G
nothin', it ain't nothin' honey, if it ain't free.
GCG
And feelin' good was easy, lord, oh, when he sang the blues,
GD7GA
you know feelin' good was good enough for me, good enough for me and my Bobby McGee.
3.
From the Kentucky coal mines to the California sun, yeah Bobby shared the secrets of my soul.
Through all kinds of weather, through everything we done, yeah Bobby baby kept me from the cold.
4.
One day up near Salinas, lo-ord, I let him slip away, he's lookin' for that home and I hope he finds it.
Well I'd trade all my tomorrows for one single yesterday, to be holdin' Bobby's body next to mine.
