For the benefit of anyone considering joining BUG or anyone who can't be arsed to go through their emails here is a as comprehensive as I could manage links archive of everything song I've ever posted out. I'll be missing a few as some people sent their song choices out as pdfs. I'm gonna figure if there's a way I can post them here.
Anywho. Knock yourselves out.
Cat Stevens- "If You Wanna Sing Out, Sing Out"
Chords (Ignore the intro if you want):
http://www.ultimate-guitar.
And how it goes for those who haven't heard it (Not to mention a lovely picture of the man himself)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?
Electric Light Orchestra "Mr. Blue Sky"
Chords (Not as hard as some of them may look!)
http://www.ultimate-guitar.
And how it goes
http://www.youtube.com/watch?
The Rolling Stones: The Last Time
Chords: (This version contains E. And I know some of you have feelings about that chord but it's the only version I can find. If you have any other versions that you'd rather play feel free to mail them around)
http://www.rockmagic.net/
And how it goes (Also a chance to see keith when he last occupied a recognisably human form)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?
Prince: "Starfish and Coffee"
Can anyone remember/and/or post the chords we used. They were fairly easy I think. Here are the lyrics anyway
http://www.lyricstime.com/
And of course, it being prince, there isn't a free version to be found on the internet. So we'll just sing along best we can.
New Order: "Blue Monday"
This was THE jam track of last week so feel free to mess around with it all you want
Chords and lyrics

Chords and Lyrics: http://www.
And you tube clip (If only to see the awesome video): http://www.youtube.com/watch?
Kraftwerk: The Model
Chords: I reckon it's just A minor and E minor all the way through. Feel free to correct me should you be compelled.
