The Joker:
The idea of this thread is to share songs that are fairly simple on guitar and vocals, and would be good to play in a casual setting.  Do your best to post chords/lyrics/tabs/a video for the song.

For example -

Chords for Ob-La-Di Ob-La-Da that are close enough to being right to probably satisfy your non-musical friends.

Well, you might want to try these:

Polly Wolly Doodle

Red River Valley

Pastures Of Plenty

This Land Is Your Land

Barbara Allen

Big Rock Candy Mountain

I've Been Working On The Railroad

Goodnight, Irene

Do Your Ears Hang Low

Zingoleb:
Pastures of Plenty? God that has so many verses. . .

Also, it's like, the next song on my shuffle :lol:

Some things to recommend that I always seem to hear at campfires:

Me and Bobby McGee
Don't Let Me Down
American Pie
Blowin' in the Wind
Yellow Submarine
The Weight

Pretty much most Beatles stuff is well-known and simple.

Other things might be something like, The Who's Pinball Wizard, some Guess Who is fairly simple chords. Hotel California is all basic chording, really. One by Three Dog Night. It's generally simple stuff that everyone knows.

Allman Brother's "Revival" is just A-D-E
