I feel this forum is going desert. Here's a funny song by the great Toy Dolls.NELLIE THE ELEPHANT - Toy Dolls
Em B Em B Ebm Em
Em B Em Em B
To Bombay, a travelling circus came
F# B
They brought an intelligent elephant
F# B
And Nellie was her name
Em B Em Em B
One dark night, she slipped her iron chain
F# B
And off she ran to Hindustan
F# B
And was never seen again
Ooooooooooooo........
E E A E
Nellie the elephant packed her trunk and said goodbye to the circus
A E F# B
Off she ran with a trumpety trump, trump trump trump
E E A E
Now Nellie the elephant packed her trunk and trumbled off to the jungle
A E F# B E
Off she ran with a trumpety trump, trump trump trump
Em B Em Em B
Night by night, she danced to the circus band
F# B
When Nellie was leading the big parade
F# B
She looked so proud and grand
Em B Em Em B
No more tricks for Nellie to perform
F# B
They taught her how to take a bow
F# B
And she took the crowd by storm
Ooooooooooooo........
E E A E
Nellie the elephant packed her trunk and said goodbye to the circus
A E F# B
Off she ran with a trumpety trump, trump trump trump

just a thought.
I think its going desert partly because we have definitely moved away from the term "Easy".
How is a begginer going to play your Em - B - Ebm progression???
I agree it LOOKS an easy song, but any newbie looking at the chords (and also, you haven't given the chord formations or a strum pattern) will inevitably go look elsewhere.
Not a critisism, I know what a pain it is to do all this stuff as well as just post the tab, but if we are going to try and keep it "Easy" we owe it to the newbies to at least give them a helping hand.
I applaud anyone who bothers to post songs on here, so don't take it personally, i am just making a point.
Come on guys and gals, let's have some proper easy songs, with a few tips on how to play them. Every single song that has gone on here like that has always received positive feedback.
Cheers
