Re: Easy Song

Hi johnmcdnl & welcome to chordie!

'Silent Night' is a 3-chord song.
A, D, E7 (so you would have to learn E7).
Here's a link:

Also, you can use chordie's transpose tool to move songs into your comfort zone.  Look to the right side of the song pages.  Fiddle with moving the chords up or down as needed.

Here is a link to a songbook entitled '3-chord wonders':

Have fun!  James

George Jones - You're Still On My Mind
D,A7 - Tom Dooley
Three Dog Night - Shambala

A7 isn't hard to do, and since you've gotten this far, it's easy to transition from A to C

If you're not happy with what you have...

Re: Easy Song

matchbox 20 "bright lights" if you can throw a G in its a really slow and easy song
And just make it an Em instead of an E, look up an Em its easier than an E
Luck Bud!

Re: Easy Song

Try Ac-Dc back in black
      Ac-Dc highway to hell
      Ac-Dc dirty deeds
      Jimmi hendrix smoke on the water
      Jimmi hendrix wild thing

Not to sure if i got all the artists right, if not im sorry, although it doesnt matter to much. Sorry i cant include any actual chords but none should be at all hard to find, and even easier to play.

Re: Easy Song

If you can play A D and E, you can play pretty much any three chord ditty.

Any song with C-F-G,   G-C-D,    E-A-B,  or D-G-A can be transposed into your three chords, and thats pretty much every song ever written.

Check out some blues or country tunes.  There's something in there for you.

Someday we'll win this thing...
