Looking for a chill acoustic song to perform (funk, house)

chaley91 · 01-14-2008, 02:30 PM

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.

John Martyn-I Don't Want To Know

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

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

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