The melody of ME AND BOBBY McGEE by Janis Joplin runs 310 notes across 49 bars, 2:21 long in C at 180 beats per minute. The tab sits almost entirely in the first two frets, one note at a time — no chords to barre and no strumming pattern to keep up with. A piano backing track plays the chords and bass underneath, so the line you are learning sounds like the record even at half speed.
