Me And Bobby Mcgee Chords

(ver. 1)
Kristofferson Kris
ME AND BOBBY MCGEE 
BY KRIS KRISTOFFERSON

I am not sure which album this song is on, but I have always considered it
a classic.  I have been playing it this way for sometime, and it sounds OK.
I use a capo on the second fret so that the song can be played in the simple
keys of G and A.

                                                                Dwight

A
Busted flat in Baton Rouge and heading for the trains
                          E
feeling nearly faded as my jeans
Bobby thumbed a diesel down just before it rained
                          A
took us all the way to New Orleans
I took my harpoon out of my dirty red bandanna
                                        D
and was blowing sad while Bobby sang the Blues
with them windshield wipers slapping time 
   A                               E                  A
and Bobby clapping hands we finally sang up every song that driver knew
D                               A
Freedom is just another word for nothing left to lose
E                                   A
Nothing ain't worth nothing but it's free
D                              A
Feeling good was easy Lord when Bobby sang the Blues
E
Feeling good was good enough for me
                            A
good enough for me and Bobby McGee
B
                              F# 
Bobby shared the secrets of my soul
Standing right beside me Lord through everything I done
                                B
Every night she kept me from the cold
Then somewhere near Salinas Lord I let her slip away
                                    E
searching for the home I hope she'll find
                                    B
And I'd trade all my tomorrows for a single yesterday
F#                          B
holding Bobby's body next to mine
E                               B
Freedom is just another word for nothing left to lose
F#                              B
Nothing left is all she left for me
E                              B
Feeling good was easy Lord when Bobby sang the Blues
Buddy that was good enough for me
                            B
good enough for me and Bobby McGee
(Fade out with)
La de da de da de da da La de da de da
                        F#
La de da da me and Bobby McGee
La de da de da de da da La de da de da
                        B
La de da da me and Bobby McGee
