Yeah, none of that highfalutin fancypants three-chord garbage! Post your favorite songs that have two chords or less.
G minor and F major but no one would look down on you for playing this: Yuri da Cunha kuma directed by dj marcell - YouTube
Eb minor and Bb minor IIRC: Santigold - Shove It - YouTube
And a one-chord groove: Ray Wylie Hubbard - Snake Farm - YouTube

|  | LICENSED TO KILL - any song I play! | | | | | I had to Google two chord songs. I saw a list of 85 or so, but The Beatles, Paperback Writer was listed so I'll go with that. But they also list America, Horse With No Name, which I'm sure doesn't qualify! So who knows!

"Arctic Monkeys - A Certain Romance"
Bmaj7, Emaj7

There's the little interlude that occurs before the last verse with the brief guitar solo going into the verse. About four or more right there.
You must play it the way my buddy plays it at the acoustic jams...he totally skips that part!
