Song suggestions for open mic night

[Chris71]

Having barely picked up the guitar in five years I've pledged to do a few open mic nights with a friend this year. She's an accomplished trumpet player, but realistically it would probably just be her on vocals and me on acoustic guitar. We're looking for something relatively idiot-proof to start with.

Any styles considered (within reason) but preferably something that's not too obscure so I can get a tab for it (doing my own transcriptions is a bit beyond my musicals skills!)

Thoughts so far:

What The Water Gave Me by Florence + The Machine

Drive by Bic Runga

"Drive" looks like a good choice - very easy to transpose it, if the key doesn't suit your vocalist... looks like a simple progression..... I / IIIm / VIm / V

Good luck with it.
