Hey everyone! It's the last Friday of the month, which means it's fan request Friday! This one was from Eddie Conner (in the comments section below our tutorial for Johnny Cash's rendition of "Hurt" by Nine Inch Nails).

In this lesson we show you how to play "Me and Bobby McGee" originally written by Kris Kristofferson and Fred Foster. This song is quite simple, but there's a small catch - there's a key change halfway through the tune. We start in the key of G, then switch to the key of A. Within each key, it's basically a 3-chord song - so this song is kind of like two 3-chord songs in one!

The chords are G, G7, C, D, D7 for the first part. You can use G and D instead of G7 and D7 if you want to make it even simpler. The second part uses: A, A7, D, E, E7.

The strumming pattern is pretty simple and we go through it slowly to make sure you get it. And finally we show you how to play the intro riff.

All-in-all this is a pretty simple tune and I hope you all enjoy it!
-James
