For the Good Times - guitar chords and comments

Lyrics without distraction HERE

All the most recorded Kristofferson songs came with his first 1971 album "Kristofferson", re-released 2 years later with the Janis Joplin-hit "Me and Bobby McGee" as the title. The first release was attracted only slight attention, but I came across it in a small record shop in Oslo ... as a cut-off. For a long time then, I had been wondering who's behind that "Kristoffersen"signature following the title of various favorite songs by favorite artists. You see; this was 20 years before the internet :-D. But here was the answer: a black cover with only a shady picture of a man on stage. I bought it unlistened to.
I was a bit disappointed. The man was singing like a goat ... besides, the production was poor. But the material was strong. Within half a year, I'd acquired the entire album with the exception of this one ... don't ask me why. But some years ago I realized I'd missed something essential, so here it is.

A              Bm   E7          A
don't look so sad  I know it's over
              Bm               E7                 A
but life goes on and this old world will keep on turning
               D                E7             A
let's just be glad we had some time to spend together
            Bm                Bm/A                E      E7
there's no need to watch the bridges that we're burning

          A            E
lay your head upon my pillow
           E7                            A
hold your warm and tender body close to mine
                          A7               D                Dm
hear the whisper of the raindrops blowing soft against the window
Bm                    Bm/A             E     E7
and make believe you love me one more time
          A
for the good times
