KRIS KRISTOFFERSON - Me And Bobby Mcgee2 guitar chord
Kris Kristofferson--Me and Bobby McGee
The chords to this song aren't much different than the chords submitted by
others on this site, for other artists (and a lot of people have recorded
this song!). However, I have a few personal variations that I think give
the song more flavor, and instead of leaving messages, which would only
confuse people, I decided to tab it out.
The best way to play this song is with an acoustic guitar, in a dark room,
fingerpicking. If you can't do one or the other of the first two, I at least
reccommend the third. I use my thumb for the first two strings of the chord,
my first, second, and third fingers for the others. Simple, basic fingerpicking,
in a basically random pattern that sounds proffessional. I think I just found the
secret to playing guitar! (or I can continue to dream, at least)
Enjoy.
