What format? CD? MP3? Just hit play. Just kidding.

I think "Headmaster's Ritual" is in Open G tuning and just requires some simple barre chords/strumming/chord positions.

There is a light that never goes out is pretty easy too. Capo at the 4th and then just open chords and F.

I'd say 'Paint a Vulgar Picture,' 'I Won't Share You,' or 'Cemetery Gates.'

Just thought I'd say I second this switching to bass idea - i've done the same :p
But yeah as for smiths songs I'd say hand in glove is pretty easy really and handsome devil is ok.

Or play the F as Fmaj7 and then there are no barre chords at all in the whole song.

I think is "please please" and "I won't share you"... oohh "Unhappy Brithday" is easy too.

Using simple busker chords, you can play Ask and I Won't Share You with G, Am, C and D, which I think is as easy as it gets with Smiths songs. Although Ask has an Em hidden in the bridge. But that's easy too.

I agree with Please Please Please and There is A Light.

Still Ill can be played rather simply. And I Want the One I Can't Have is not very difficult either.

All can be played with basic chords.

You probably cant go wrong with those, esp Ask on memory.
