Easiest Dave Song to play?
I was in the same place about a week or so ago.
Grey Street is easy to play but singing with it is the hard part, at least for me.
The Song that Jane Likes is my fav song to play right now. It's extremely easy as long as you can play the barred F.
SMTS is also easy but i would say that STJL is your best bet. Just listen to an acoustic version of it and get the rhythm down. I love it

- Random movie quote to make you seem hip and "with it": "I once saw this in a movie, it was about a bus that had to keep it's "speed" above 50, and if it's "speed" dropped, it would explode...I think it was called "The Bus That Couldn't Slow Down"!

Instead of the way Dave plays it (though the hammer-ons can be a little tricky at first) using standard chords for the chorus as well.
