Mercedes Benz
Tom: D
Spoken : I'd like to do a song of great social and political
importance. It goes like this :
D
1. Oh Lord, won't you buy me a Mercedes Benz ?
My friends all drive Porsches, I must make amends.
Worked hard all my lifetime, no help from my friends,
A D
so, Lord, won't you buy me a Mercedes Benz ?
D
2. Oh Lord, won't you buy me a color TV ?
Dialing For Dollars is trying to find me.
I wait for delivery each day until three,
A D
So, oh Lord, won't you buy me a color TV ?
D
3. Oh Lord, won't you buy me a night on the town ?
I'm counting on you, Lord, please don't let me down.
Prove that you love me and buy the next round,
A D
oh Lord, won't you buy me a night on the town ?
Repeat verse 1
Me And Bobby McGee
Tom: C
C
Busted flat in Baton Rauge, waitin' for the train.
G
Feelin' nearly faded as my jeans.
Bobby flagged a diesel down, just before it rained,
C
took us all the way to New Orleans.
I took my harp out, of my dirty red bandanna,
C7 F
was blowin' sad while Bobby sang the blues.
With those windshield wipers slappin' time,
C
and Bobby clappin' hands,
G C
we sung every song that driver knew.
CHORUS:
F C
Freedom's just another word for nothin' left to lose.
G C
nothin' ain't worth nothin' but it's free.
F C
Feelin' good was easy, Lord when Bobby sang the blues.
G
Feelin' good was good enough for me,
C
good enough for me and Bobby McGee.
C
From the coal mines of Kentucky, to the California sun,
G
Bobby shared the secrets of my soul.
Standin' right beside me Lord, through everything I done.
C
Every night he kept me from the cold.
Then somewhere near Salinas, I let him slip away.
C7 F
Searchin' for the home I hoped to find.
C
And I'd give all my tomorrows for a single yesterday,
G C
holdin' Bobby's body next to mine.
(Chorus)
