Here's a lovely little song by Ben Harper, simple though it is.
It's actually supposed to be tuned down a whole step DGCFAD, but you can play it 
however suits your range.
(Note: The C/B chord is played x20010)
[Intro]
C  F    C  F
CThere is nFot a riCver wide
CNot a moFuntain hGighF  
And nCeither sFin nor eCvil
Could Cchange how I Ffeel inCside
Could Cchange how I Ffeel inCside
Not Call the stFrength of the oCcean
Not Call the hFeat from the sGun, from tFhe sun
ThouCgh others have tFried, I Cjust can't deAmny
For Cme you aFre the oCne
For Cme you aFre the oCne
But tFrue lovGe is prCiceless
For tFrue love we pGay a prCice
But there's Fnothing can kGeep me from Amloving yoC/Bu
Not Cfire, nFo, not Cice
Not Cfire, nFo, not Cice
Like a Chero For the cChampion
YCou aFre the bGest, you're the Fbest
Like Creligion For supersCtition
CWith you FI am bClessed
CWith you FI am bClessed
Now the Criver Fmay grow wCider
The Cmountains may rFeach past the GskyF  
And Cwhether or Fnot you fCeel the sAmame
My lCove shall nFever dCie
My lCove shall nFever dCie
But Ftrue loGve is gCive and take
TFrue love iGs sacriCfice
But there's Fnothing can kGeep me from Amloving yoC/Bu
Not Cfire, nFo, not Cice
Not Cfire, nFo, not Cice
[Outro]
C  F    C  F
