80s Alternative Campfire Set | 10 Unexpected Classics

Welcome to another Campfire Set from Pete's Campfire Songbook! This time I've put together a collection of 10 "Alternative" hits from the 1980s, songs from artists including The Clash, U2, The Cure, The Stranglers, and more. Each song is presented in a short, campfire-friendly format, so you can get through a whole repertoire of great acoustic songs in one session. Chords, lyrics and strumming patterns are shown on screen as you play along. 🎸 Songs in this set: 00:00 – I Fought the Law - The Clash 01:15 – Boys Don't Cry - The Cure 03:00 – Golden Brown - The Stranglers 04:30 – Town Called Malice - The Jam 06:00 – With Or Without You - U2 07:50 – Killing Moon - Echo and the Bunnymen 09:25 – Personal Jesus - Depeche Mode 11:20 – There Is A Light That Never Goes Out - The Smiths 13:20 – Don't You Want Me - The Human League 15:00 – London Calling - The Clash These aren't intended to be note-for-note recreations of the original recordings. They're my own simple acoustic arrangements, designed for playing and singing around a campfire, at a pub, open mic, or just at home with your guitar. If you want to learn any of these songs in more detail, you'll find full song play-alongs and guitar lessons here on Pete's Campfire Songbook. Grab your guitar and play along! Thanks for watching, and happy playing.
