Why not play some Beatles to keep Qmark78 happy !

Fast car by Tracey Chapman is about four chords and drugs don't work or lucky man by verve/r ashcroft should be easy to work out if you don't have the music, and great for male voice (if you're a boy or girl I don't know). Not that they are happy tunes at all but people do know them - which is the important thing.


I've never busked and I hardly play guitar so I don't if this one is easy but what about mrs. robinson (lemonheads style of course) and american pie is a good one as once you know it that's got you covered for at least 8 minutes!


I think you need to apply for a licenced spot now in london (seem to remember seeing something about them being designated areas where you won't be moved on, sopnsored by carling I think) I could be totally wrong though!


The licencing thing is just on the tube - doh!
