'Me and Bobby McGee' by Kris Kristofferson - Guitar Tutorial

             C
Busted flat in Baton Rouge, headin' for the train 
                           G7
Feelin' nearly faded as my jeans 
Bobby thumbed a diesel down 
Just before it rained 
                           C
Took us all the way to New Orleans 
 
 C
I took my harpoon out of my dirty red bandanna 
                          C7             F
And was blowing sad while Bobby sang the blues 
With those windshield wipers slappin' time 
    C
And Bobby clappin' hands 
           G7                             C
We finally sang up every song that driver knew 
 
    F                               C
    Freedom's just another word for nothin' left to lose 
    G7                                   C
    Nothin' ain't worth nothin' but it's free 
    F                               C
    Feeling good was easy Lord when Bobby sang the blues 
    G7
    Feeling good was good enough for me 
                                 C
    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've 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' left is all she left for me 
    Feeling good was easy Lord when Bobby sang the blues 
    And buddy that was good enough for me 
    Good enough for me and Bobby McGee
