America the Beautiful
Here is a fingerstyle version of our more easily sung national anthem. It's in the key of G. Use a capo to match your voice palette up to about the 5th fret. Above that your fingers get pretty compressed on the higher passages. It requires a little more left hand movement to reach the melody notes, but it's a great one to be able to play and sing.
