Bob, I know one, just one that we can all sing together.
Something like East Virginia Blues.
I was born in East Virginia
[A]
[G] North Carolina, I [D] did go
[G] There I met a Spanish [D] maiden
In [A] Mali, da da [D] da da da
Her hair was of the darkest color
[G] Cheeks they were of [D] the red
[G] On her wrist she wore white [D] lilies
[A] Where I longed [D] in my
[G] [D]
[G] [D]
[A] [D]
day
I might have been in some dark Harlem
[G] Where the sun don't ever [D] shine
[G] And to see you love [D] another
And [A] to know you love [D]
[A] [D]

me
I don't want the greenback dollars
[G] I don't want [D] the rain
[G] All I want is your [D] love, darlin'
Won't [A] you take me back [D] to me
Won't [A] you take me back [D] there
