Volcano
Damien Rice
This is such a great song for a duet. The lead part is
simple strumming- all basic chords (+ hammer ons). The
harmony in the song is actually on a cello, but pretty
much any instrument can still work- particularly bass
or piano in my opinion. Listen to the song for the
rhythm of the second part (currently available at
yahoo music for free listening)

Harmony (written for bass) plays pretty much
continuously except during bridge. Ad-libbing
really can spice up the song too.

She still too young
I kissed your mouth you back
still too young
You do not need me
