Me and Bobby McGee
written by Kristofferson/Foster
NOTE: In Miller's recording, the base is very prominent. Thus, it sounds best to play
extra base-notes. Whenever you see a C, alternate between a C and C/G (listen to the
recording, or use your own judgement, it's not a hard pattern to figure). When you see a
D, alternate between D and D/F#. Also, and this is especially true during the first verse
and chorus, walk up to the next chord (this can be as simple as playing a C7 before the F,
or you can do whatever feels good for you).
INTRO: C
Feelin' nearly faded as my j
And I took my harpoon out of my dirty red bandana
And was blowin' sad while Bobby sang the b
With them windshield wipers slappin' time and B
(key change to D)
Bobby shared the secrets of my s
Standin' right beside me Lord thru everything I done
And every night she kept me from the c
Then somewhere near Salinas I let her slip away
Lookin' for the home I hope she'll f
I'd trade all of my tomorrs for one s
Good enough for me and Bobby Mc
La la la la me and Bobby M
La la la la la la la la la la la la
La la la la me and Bobby M
(repeat and fade)
