Campfire Sing-alongs?

I'm going camping this weekend and was just wondering if y'all had any suggestions for some simple campfire sing-alongs. I'm still a beginner so the easier the better, though, I could probably laern some intermediate level stuff by then. Thanks

It depends on who you're going camping with, if their Dave fans learn like Crash and stuff like that. If not just find something at least 2 other people know so you won't feel so along. I love campfire singalongs.

Pink Floyds "Wish you were here" is a must. It's pretty much all simple chords.
"Tangerine" is another good one and it's pretty simple.
James Taylor would be perfect campfire music but it's not reallly geared for a begginer.
Ummmm... Can't really think of any more.

If you're into fingerpicking, capos, and hippy music, simon and garfunkle is a must. Sound of Silence, April come she will, homeward bound, and scarborough fair are great on acoustic and are not too hard to learn.
If you are playing with a friend, Lets get together by the youngbloods is great for two acoustics.
More modern songs which are great for a campfire include pearl jam's black, the freshmen by the verve pipe, and drive by incubus.
As for DMB fans, it depends on the mood you are trying to give your listeners. If you wanna creep them out, Warehouse, minarets, and two step are good bets. Weepy songs include satellite, crash, and cry freedom. Mystical songs include seek up, typical situation, and
captain (crazy) Upbeat songs, especially for sing alongs, are WAYG, Jimi Thing, and Ants Marching.
Have a lovely time camping.

Sweet Caroline.. if I recall correctly, by Neil Diamond...

(it was the one from the Labbatt commercials about a year ago.. I'm not sure whether it was aired in the US or not, though..)

Cool! I love jammin' around the camp fire too. Plush by STP is a great acoustic song. Everyone knows that!

How about a little bit of "No Woman No Cry" by Marley. Mix the Fugees version in there and you got an easy, fun campfire song

you correct me for a simple mis-type, and you call Stills "Steeles" lol

CSN are great folk songwriters...and they have some real good stuff with Neil too
