Strum-Along
Key of C
4/4 Time

Another of Kris Kristofferson’s great country songs, it first became a hit in 1970 when recorded by Sammi Smith, reaching #1 on Billboard’s Hot Country Singles chart. I recorded it in the key of C. I should probably mention that I used some suspended chords but didn’t write them in over the lyrics, partly because it was hard to fit them in but also because they’re optional, and you can omit them if you want to and stay on the regular chord. Here are the notes in case you have trouble figuring it out: For the C chord, you add the 2nd string 1st fret, and for the G or G7 chord, you add the 1st string 3rd fret. That’s all there is to it.
