Me And Bobby McGee Guitar Tutorial

Learn how to play “Me and Bobby McGee” by Kris Kristofferson and Fred Foster. This easy 3-chord 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!
