Favorite easy song

What is your favorite "easy" song to play? Personally I like Moonlight Sonata (http://www.ukulele-tabs.com/uke-songs/beethoven-ludwig-van/moonlight-sonata-uke-tab-11864.html), it's pretty simple and straightforward and sounds great. But, what about you?

Hallelujah by Leonard Cohen. The first two chords are C and Am, which you can pick on open strings. It requires you to sing on top of it to really work, but it's pretty even without.

Denouncing November Blue by the Avett Brothers. Its just GCD. (If I added the obvious picking in the song it wouldn't be so easy.) :)

'For Emma' by Bon Iver. :) Simple chords, and sounds lovely.

The Buckethead Interlude from Enter the Chicken. It's a 30 second song with only a few chords, and it's funny (in a twisted kinda way).

"Jane Says" by Jane's Addiction. It's G, A, G, A, over and over again. It makes "Happy Birthday" look like Motzart.

The only trick is the 1h2p1 on the C string during the end of each A chord. Master that, and you are well on your way!

I'm Yours- Jason Mraz is definitely an easy song and everybody knows the tabs are
|0 0 0 3|
|0 2 3 2|
|2 0 0 0|
|2 0 1 0|

This is also the chord progression for many songs, or many be in a different order.

Easily is Sunday Morning by Maroon 5! I'm guilty of playing it on days other than Sunday :D) F, G7, C are the only chords needed :top:

I love to play the song Book Of Love.

It is just a simple G C D G song but It is still fun to play.
