3. Deportee – Woody Guthrie
Chords: G, D, A7
Another simple song from Woody Guthrie that you won’t have troubles playing on our list of easiest folk songs to play on acoustic guitar . This song was written in protest over media coverage of the Los Gatos plane crash. The plane was carrying deported Mexican farm workers from the United States back to Mexico when it crashed, killing all on board. The media only named the crew, and the workers mentioned as “deportees,” hence the name of the song.
