been messing with sublimes 'Doin time' lots of fun its basically Gm and C

the question is any recommendations for 2 chord songs i can medley it with, so it doesn't sound stale at the end.

Cheers in advance

Some simple ( and old) two chord songs are:

A Tisket, A Tasket
Billy Boy
Tom Dooley
Hail, Hail, The Gang's All Here
My Darlin' Clementine
Down in the Valley
Rock O My Soul
 
Waiting in Vain is two chords until you get to the bridge.

but thats all good.

so glad no one mentioned achy breaky heart!

currently thinking the verses for ice ice baby might fit as well

Cheers

Stripes Around My Shoulders - Johnny Cash C and G but I play in in Cm (second position) and Gm makes it sound kinda sad.

Shady Grove Am and G

Crazy Baldheads - Bob Marley F#m and Bm

Time Will Tell - Bob Marley G and C
 
"Don't Get Lost in Heaven" & "Demon Days" by Gorillaz

If you're feeling jazzy (or swing-y), you can try out my favourite Squirrel Nut Zippers song, "Hell". The chords are simply Dm and A. :shaka:
 
Shame and Scandal by Sir Lancelot. It's just Dm and C. Pretty funny song too.
