Looking for a chill acoustic song to perform

[Maddie]

Our school has music coffeehouses every month or so, and I'm trying to think of something to do. I would be singing this, with a friend on acoustic, so I'm looking for a song with really cool singing.

[Diana Jonas]

both are good songs- any others? my friend is more of a beginner at guitar, so maybe some simpler ones?

 

[Ur best friend (Ab)]

thanks- this is a lot of good stuff. savannah- i've done heart of gold, and its a sweet song. and that is a huge list of songs! thanks

pigs on the wing- pink floyd.. basically a simple chord song.. rather short for the not so great guitarist

 

[Lawrence D]

you should sing some simon and garfunkel its will be a hit

 

[anonymis]

For newer stuff, I'd say Nickleback "should've listened" or Jett "Look what you've done". Both pretty easy.
Little more classic would be Tom Petty "last dance".

 

[Jade M]

Yes Nickleback for sure....you will make loaRAB of frienRAB

 

[(&Nina)]

if you play nickelback..........should i explain more?

 

[safia k]

You Should do a Acoustic version of Time After Time by Cyndie Lauper , I think Dave Matthews does a version of it.

 

[mark7]

What about Don Peris? Or old Tom Waits?

 

[wade2k8]

Rust Never Sleeps by Neil Young; AKA "Hey hey, My my"

 

[B Dawgg]

Cyndi Lauper would be an amazing performance. Do something between the lines of that and throw some of the works of Conor Oberst (Bright Eyes) in there if you must.

i tried that and they are rather complex..

 

[cookeez]

I heard a girl doing Blackbird by the Beatles in a coffeehouse once, sounded nice, probably not too tough

 

[whoaaitsbecky]

I did Mr. Tarabourine Man once….it was a huge hit people were singing and clapping along
