    She's So Heavy ;-)

    Anybody got the words to "Can't you See"?
    
    How About Bob Dylan's "Tangled up in Blues"
    
    "sakman"

    For your Unplugged group, you NEED to do "Uncle John's Band", from
    Workingman's Dead (Grateful Dead, of course...) - one of the greats,
    and, of course, anything by Crosby, Stills, and Nash.
    
    If they're starting out, which is what I think you're asking, do they
    mind doing old standards, like "Red River Valley", or do they need new
    stuff?
    

"She's So Heavy"?  Yeah, uh huh.  :)

What about:

Alice's Resturant		Arlo Guthrie
Fire and Rain			James Taylor
Country Road			James Taylor
Behind Blue Eyes		The Who
Like A Rolling Stone		Bob Dylan
Sweet Homes Alabama		Lynard Skynard (done slow and bluesy, works 
					great)
It's on Pink Floyd's "The Wall", the side with Comfortably Numb and it starts
out with "I've got a little black book, with my poems in it", don't know the 
title

    Nobody's Home?

    "Signs" by Tesla is pretty cool - even though I'll puke (with corn abnd
    stewed tomatoes ...) if I hear it again)
    
    Scary (who sez there are a ZILLION country songs for acoustic
    diddlin's)

    Bourre in E minor by bach and Embryo by Black Sabbawth are my favorite
    aucostics. I doubt many would agree
    

    Forgot about this guy .. Bob Seger ...

    Seagull - Bad Company
    Midnight Rider - Alman's
    7 Turns - Alman's
    Mellisa - Alman's
    
    And if you're up for a challenge, Jessica by the Alman's.  I heard 3
    guys in a metal band whip out their acoustics during a break and do
    this one back behind the club, and it was *awesome* on acoustic ...
    
    
    Scary

    "Signs" was making me puke back in 1971, I just can believe I've been
    lucky enough to experience it twice in one lifetime.

       

    Signs...didn't the 5 Man Acoustical Band originally do that one?

re: a few back:  Yeah that's right it's "Nobody's Home" from Pink Floyd's "The
Wall"

    re: .11  Close.  It was the Five Man Electrical Band.
    
    Interesting how many lame '70s songs have been pop metal (for want
    of a better term) hits.  Smoking in the Boys Room, etc...
    
    Peter

    
    Let's not even get into how LAME things got in the 70's. And, thank you,
    "LAME" is the perfect word for it. Sorry for singling out signs. maybe
    if it hadn't irritated me SOOO MUCH when it was first done, Tesla
    wouldn't bother me so much now.  It just hits a raw nerve with me.
    Think of it, somebody made a lot of money writing the lyrics to that
    song!
    
    Sorry fro ranting, we should really get back to campfire songs...

    

    I second "Uncle Johns Band" byt The Dead.  Also, "Friend Of The Devil"
    is a cool acoustic tune by them.  Here's some more:
    
    24 Hours At A Time - Marshall Tuckers (medicated pads...)
    Fire On The Mountain - Marshall Tucker
    Feel Like Makin Love - Bad Co.
    Shooting Star - Bad Co.
    Fade To Black - Metallica (I'm serious !!! - Great acoustic tune !)
    Little Suzy - Tesla (Hot damn!)
    More Than Words - Extreme (Another goodie from a metal band)
    Tear In My Beer - Hank Williams
    Stairway - Zeppelin
    Over The Hills And Far Away - Zeppelin
    Take It Easy - Eagles
    Peaceful Sleazy Feelin' - Eagles
    Already Gone - Eagles  (Eagles are a BLAST to play acoustic)
    Goin' To California - Zeppelin
    Old Man - Neil Young
    Sugar Mountain - Neil Young
    Out Of The Black (and Into The Blue) - Neil Young (the acoustic one on
                                                       side 2)
    Anything by James Taylor (Gotta love this guys live show)
    Ripple - Grateful Dead
    St. Steven - Grateful Dead
    
    jc (Who'll do more acoustic stuff when Greg finishes my acoustic - hint;)

    We gotta get Dandrea in on this; he knows a million of them

    Hey you gotta hid your love away -  forget the real title  - Beatles
    Black bird - Beatles
    

    God, how could I have forgotten !!
    
    "Rocky Racoon" - Beatles (Love this tune!)

    Another good campfire song would be Amy (PPL), that is, if
    Coop would provide the tablature, like he promised.
    
    :^)

    Alright, alright...  I gotta do it from home though, as I need a guitar 
    in my hands to do it...
    
    :)

    Careful. Remember that scene in Animal House where the guy is singing
    and playing his guitar on the stairs and Belushi comes along? You don't
    want anything like that to happen.

    Better through in "Dang Me" by Roger Miller
    
    :\
    

    
    Have I missed the point of a 'campfire song' here?
    
    Surely the object of such stuff is for everyone to have a good time and
    hopefully sing along at least with the chorus. On this basis 90% of the
    songs listed thus far would fail dismally as campfire songs.
    
    As far as non traditional songs go, a rule of thumb would be that a
    prerequisite has to be that its been in the charts (not ALWAYS the case
    though, eg Beatles stuff).
    
    So, for instance, I happen to think Creedence Clearwater Revival stuff
    translates very well to acoustic. My favourites on acoustic are Lodi
    and Who'll Stop the Rain. However, here in the UK they would fail as
    campfire songs. The only CCR songs that would be worth considering
    would be Proud Mary and Bad Moon Rising.

	When I bought my Guild a coupla weeks ago the next stop was
	a big David Bowie fake book and copies of Spacce Oddity and
	Hunky Dorey. Try out "Cygnet Committee", "Soul Love" or
	"Hang onto yourself"

	Then on to some Neil Young. And then Jethro Tull. And then...

	Anybody got a full arrangement for Donovan's "Atlantis"?

	Speaking of the `70s - I've listened to "Search and Destroy"
	from the Stooges' Raw Power album about 10 times in the last
	24 hours. The `70s had the very best music. That NY Dolls CD
	has been clawing to get out of it's case. And Flaming Groovies'
	"Shake Some Action" gets played at least 2ce a week at my house.

    There are exceptions to everything. Those wouldn't necessarily
    be mine, though.    ..

>>    Surely the object of such stuff is for everyone to have a good time and...

In that case, "Row, Row, Row your Boat" can't miss, especially if you're in the
U.S. and surrounded by Star Trek (the movie) fans. :):)

BLUE EYES CRYING IN THE RAIN (Willie Nelson) (chords C,G & F)

In the twilight glow I see,
blue eyes crying in the rain.
When we kissed good bye and parted,
I knew we'd never meet again.
Love is like a dying ember,
and only memories remain.
And through the ages I'll remember,
blue eyes crying in the rain.

PLAY MELODY

Someday when we meet up yonder,
we'll stroll hand in hand again.
In the land that knows no party,
blue eyes crying in the rain.
