Webb Pierce - In The Jailhouse Now

John Denver - Thank God I'm a Country Boy

Answer 2

Well there is always , " I'm so lonely in my saddle since my horse died " , and we can not forget this classic, " Back when gas was 50 cents a gallon , your love was only 30 cents away :)) " . Then be sure to play a couple of songs backwards so they have happy endings :))

Answer 3

well if you can get a guitar, banjo and mandolin player to jam with you try Arlington by Trace Atkins but you will also need a deep male voice to sing the lyrics





The song is about a war dead veteran who's body is brought home to Arlington National Cemetary where the USA lays to rest the bodies of honorable war dead soldiers and it is about his spirit's experiences being layed to rest for the final time and is a very good but sad honorable song along the lines of Green Day's "Wake me up when September Ends"

Also here's a couple of easy songs



Wild Thing:A,D,E that's the main riff

Knockin' On Heavens Door:G,D,Am is the first riff then G,D,C is the the second riff so it's just those chords over and over.

Sweet Home Alabama:C,D,G, but you have to get the pattern and that'll get you recognised,

Free Bird:G,D,Em,F,C,D is the riff over and over again.



I hope i helped and you become a good guitar player.

Most "charted" songs have sheet music. You should be able to play almost any "hit" song. If you are learning how to play, buy a how-to book. Once you can play, you can pick any song.
