Capo 2nd fret

Standard (EADGBE)

BUSTED FLAT IN BATON ROUGE,

HEADIN FOR THE TRAINS;

FEELIN NEARLY FADED AS MY JEANS,

BOBBY THUMBED A DIESEL DOWN

JUST BEFORE IT RAINED;

TOOK US ALL THE WAY TO NEW ORLEANS.

I TOOK MY HARPON OUT OF MY DIRTY RED BANDANNA

AND WAS BLOWIN' SAD WHILE BOBBY SANG THE BLUES;

_ _ WITH THEM WINDSHIELD WIPERS SLAPPIN TIME

AND BOBBY'S CLAPPIN HANDS WE FINALLY

SANG EVERY SONG THAT DRIVER KNEW

FREEDOM'S JUST ANOTHER WORD FOR NOTHIN LEFT TO LOSE,

NOTHIN' AIN'T WORTH NOTHIN' BUT IT'S FREE;

FEELIN' GOOD WAS EASY, LORD WHEN BOBBY SANG THE BLUES;

AND FEELIN WAS GOOD ENOUGH FOR ME,

GOOD ENOUGH FOR ME AND BOBBY MCGEE

_ _ FROM THE COAL MINES OF KENTUCKY

TO THE CALIFORNIA SUN,

BOBBY SHARED THE SECRETS OF MY SOUL;

STANDIN' RIGHT BESIDE ME, LORD

THROUGH EVERYTHING I DONE,

AND EVERY NIGHT SHE KEPT ME FROM THE COLD.

_ _ _ THEN SOMEWHERE NEAR SALINAS, LORD,

I LET HER SLIP AWAY

LOOKIN' FOR THE HOME I HOPE SHE'LL FIND;

_ AND I'D TRADE ALL OF MY TOMORROWS

FOR A SINGLE YESTERDAY

HOLDIN BOBBY'S BODY NEXT TO MINE

FREEDOM'S JUST ANOTHER WORD FOR NOTHIN LEFT TO LOSE,

NOTHIN' AIN'T WORTH NOTHIN' BUT IT'S FREE;

FEELIN' GOOD WAS EASY, LORD WHEN BOBBY SANG THE BLUES;

AND FEELIN WAS GOOD ENOUGH FOR ME,

GOOD ENOUGH FOR ME AND BOBBY MCGEE

ME AND BOBBY MCGEE

BY KRIS KRISTOFFERSON

Dwight

Busted flat in Baton Rouge and heading for the trains

feeling nearly faded as my jeans

Bobby thumbed a diesel down just before it rained

took us all the way to New Orleans

I took my harpoon out of my dirty red bandanna

and was blowing sad while Bobby sang the Blues

with them windshield wipers slapping time

and Bobby clapping hands we finally sang up every song that driver knew

Freedom is just another word for nothing left to lose

Nothing ain't worth nothing but it's free

Feeling good was easy Lord when Bobby sang the Blues

Feeling good was good enough for me

good enough for me and Bobby McGee

>From the coal mines of Kentucky to the California sun

Bobby shared the secrets of my soul

Standing right beside me Lord through everything I done

Every night she kept me from the cold

Then somewhere near Salinas Lord I let her slip away

searching for the home I hope she'll find

And I'd trade all my tomorrows for a single yesterday

holding Bobby's body next to mine

Freedom is just another word for nothing left to lose

Nothing left is all she left for me

Feeling good was easy Lord when Bobby sang the Blues

Buddy that was good enough for me

good enough for me and Bobby McGee

(Fade out with)

La de da de da de da da La de da de da

La de da da me and Bobby McGee

La de da de da de da da La de da de da

La de da da me and Bobby McGee
