Me and Bobby Mc Gee (midi)

C

1. Busted flat in Baton Rouge, heading for the trains,

G

feeling nearly faded as my jeans.

Bobby thumbed a diesel down, just before it rained,

G7 C

took us all away to New Orleans.

I took my harpoon out of my dirty red bandana

C7 F

and was blowing sad while Bobby sang the blues.

With them windshield-wipers slapping time and

C

Bobby clapping hands we finally

G7 C - C7

sang up every song that driver knew.

F - C

Freedom`s just another word for nothing left to lose,

G7 C - C7

nothing ain`t worth nothing, but it`s free.

F - C

Feeling good was easy, Lord, when Bobby sang the blues.

G

And feeling good was good enough for me,

G7 C

good enough for me and Bobby Mc Gee.

C

2. From the coalmines of Kentucky to the California sun,

G

Bobby shared the secrets of my soul.

Standing right beside me, Lord, through every thing I`d done,

G7 C

and every night she kept me from the cold.

Then somewhere near Salinas, Lord, I let her slip away,

C7 F

looking for the home I hope she`ll find.

- C

And I`d trade all my tomorrows for a single yesterday,

G7 C - C7

holding Bobby`s body next to mine. + CHORUS
