Easy folk songs

i was wondering if anyone knows some good easy folk songs for guitar. Things like 'this land is your land' just a few chords with some good lyrics. I need some stuff to play at camp and around the campfire.

 

Anything by Dylan.

 

Yeah Dylan's great i know a few of his songs, but i was looking for some variety and i dont know very many other folk artists

 

try playing stuff like van morrison, leonard cohen anything really, just play the chords instead of the tab

especially ona lot of tab sites, where the song is complecated, just use the chords...and its all good

 

Pete Seeger or Woody or Arlo Guthrie have some good songs.

 

www.dylanchords.com..

 

Neil Young... go to http://www.hyperrust.org

There's chords/tabs for almost every one of his songs on there. Songs like Wooden Ships, Helplessly Hoping, Carry On, Helpless etc. by CSN(Y) are also great. Also, look for John Prine's stuff. I like Illegal Smile and Angel From Montgomery, etc.

 

omfg I didn't know there was a site for him too.... yay thanks

 

Yeah, most people don't know about that site.

Here's the direct link to the chords and tablatures page for reference.

house of the rising sun one of the first songs i learned, learn some stuff like she will be soming round the mountin, stuff like that old ballads go down to your local music shop and look for a book on how to play folk song theres 99% chance they will have one

 

if you know john prine hes pretty good and is an amazing song writer/performer he has good songs that are pretty easy. some a re funny like dear abby

 

I know you rider

 

Wave Upon Wave by Arlo Guthrie is always a good one to play.

 

Another Side of Bob Dylan appears to be Bob's easiest album. Check that one out.

 

Puff The Magic Dragon is only like 4 chords in rythm. I think those are C#m, D-Minor, C, and G. With some finger pickin thrown in the mix.
Leavin On A Jet Plane is another easy one.
The artists I'm talking about are, "Peter, Paul And Mary" and John Denver.

 

Here's another awesome Neil Young guitar site:

Fred Eaglesmith/Hank Williams.

 

Niel Young is good, he makes a lot of his songs simple on purpose. That's just how cool he is.

It depends TOO on what you want to learn to play. Rythm? Lead, Bass?
