Me and Bobby McGee

 6  6   6   6  6 -5    5     6  6    6  -5    5
Busted flat in Baton Rouge, headin' for the train,
 5  6    6  5  -5 5  -4 4   -4
Feelin' nearly faded as my jeans.
-5  5   -5    5  -5 5   -4   
Bobby thumbed a diesel down, 
 -5   5 -5  5    -4
just before it rained;
 -5  5  -5  -5   5  -4  4  -4  5
Took us all the way to New Orleans.
6  6   6   6  6   -5  5  -5  6  6  6   6 -5  5 
I took my harpoon out of my dirty red bandanna,
 5  -5   6   6   6    -6  -7 -7  6    5   -5
And was blowing sad while Bobby sang the blues.
 -6   -7    7    7    7  7   7  -7    -6   
With them windshield wipers slappin' time,
-5  6  -5   5  -5    6 
And Bobby clappin' hands,
5   -5  5   -4  -4 -4 5   -5   -4   4  -3  4  
We finally sang up every song that driver knew.

  7   7    7   7  7 -7  -6  -6   6  -5    5   -5  6
Freedom's just another word for nothing' left to lose:
-5  -5   -5    -5    5  -4   4   -4   5
Nothin' ain't worth nothin' but it's free.
  7  7   7    7  7 -7   -6    -5  6  -5  5   -5    6
Feeling good was easy, Lord, when Bobby sang the blues.
 -4  -4  -4   5   -5  -4  -4 -4  -3 
Feeling good was good enough for me;
 -5   -5 -5  5  -4 -4  -4 4  -3 4
Good enough for me and Bobby McGee.

 5   -5   6     6   6  6  6 -5  5  -5  6  6  6 -5  5
From the coal mines of Kentucky to the California sun,
5  6    6     5   -5  5  -4 4   -4
Bobby shared the secrets of my soul.
-5  5     -5    5 -5  5   -4    
Standin' right beside me, Lord, 
  -4     -5  5 -5   5    -4
through everything I've done,
-5  5  -5   -5   5   -4  4   -4   5 
Every night she kept me from the cold.
 6     6   6    6   6  6 -5   5   -5  6   6   6   -6 5 
Then somewhere near Salinas, Lord, I let her slip away,
 6  6    6  -6   -7 -7  6      5   -5
Lookin' for the home I hope she'll find.
-6   -6   -7   7  7  7   7  7  -7 -6 -5  6 -5   5 -5  5
And I'd trade all of my tomorrows for a single yesterday,
-4 -4   -4  5  -5 -4  4   -3  4 
Holdin' Bobby's body next to mine.

  7   7    7   7  7 -7  -6  -6   6  -5    5   -5  6
Freedom's just another word for nothing' left to lose:
-5  -5   -5  -5  5  -4   4   -4  5
Nothin' left is all she left for me.
  7  7   7    7  7 -7   -6    -5  6  -5  5   -5    6
Feeling good was easy, Lord, when Bobby sang the blues.
-4 -4   -4   5   -5  -4  -4 -4  -3
Buddy, that was good enough for me;
 -5   -5 -5  5  -4 -4  -4 4  -3 4
Good enough for me and Bobby McGee.
