House of the Rising Sun - performed by The Animals
NOTES: This song is a little tough at first; it uses five of the nine chords we've learned. Ignore the picking pattern for now - instead strum each chord six times quickly with only downstrums.

Last Kiss - performed by Pearl Jam
NOTES: this song is quite easy to play... it only uses four chords which repeat for the entire song. Use this week's strumming pattern for the song (play the pattern once for each chord).

Mr. Jones - performed by The Counting Crows
NOTES: This one might be tough, because it uses an Fmaj chord, and because some chords are held longer than others. Playing along with a recording of the song should help. Although this week's strumming pattern isn't exactly what they play, it will work fine.

American Pie - performed by Don McLean
NOTES: This one will be hard to memorize! It's very long, and has lots of chords, but it should be a good project. Ignore the 7ths... play Amin instead of Am7, Emin instead of Em7, and Dmaj instead of D7. Also, ignore the chords in the brackets for now.
