Great suggestions.
If I Fell.
Cry Baby Cry is another good one.

Recently, I've been more into the Hard Days Night/Help/Rubber Soul stuff than the later material. Some of the fun ones on acoustic:

Things We Said Today
I've Just Seen a Face
I'll Be Back
It's Only Love
I'm Looking Through You

I've also always had a fantasy about putting together a Beatle-esque cover of Mr. Moonlight, but I don't think I have the voice to pull it off.

I have recently discovered that the song Nowhere Man sounds great as a ballad finger picked with vocals.

Norwegian Wood is great on a 12 string.

I love doing the Beatles. I've currently got 58 Beatle's songs in my sing-along songbook, and I could easily add a couple dozen more. We also regularly perform Beatles songs in my acoustic duo. One that hasn't been mentioned yet and works surprisingly well is Fixing a Hole.

Others not yet mentioned:
Because (works great if you've got some harmony singers in the group)
Dig a Pony (lots of fun)
From Me to You
Happiness is a Warm Gun (sounds great on acoustic)
Here, There and Everywhere (naturally)
I am the Walrus (another surpise, but this works well and is a lot of fun at a sing-along)
I Saw Her Standing There (OK, it loses something as just acoustic, but it's still a goodie)
I'm So Tired
I've Got a Feeling
Lucy in the Sky With Diamonds
Ob-La-Di, Ob-La-Da (another fun one for a sing-along)
Oh! Darling (works well if you have a singer to pull in off)
Penny Lane (get that walking bass line going)
Strawberry Fields Forever (this works pretty well as a fingerstlye instrumental too)
Ticket to Ride
When I'm Sixty-Four
You Never Give Me Your Money (I love playing this as a fingerstlye instrumental)

And +1 to everything already mentioned - can't get enough Beatles.
(Let it Be, In My Life, Julia, Cry Baby Cry, A Day in the Life, Norwegian Wood, Here Comes the Sun, For No One, With a Little Help From My Friends and Two of Us have all worked well in our performances)

"Junk" is a nice guitar tune, though it's not really a Beatles song - it's a McCartney song.

i believe junk was included in the abbey road album sessions so it deserves a spot. same way that all things must pass should have been a beatles classic.

Thanks for the list. I searched youtube for Michelle and found a good tutorial. Already got the intro down. Just wish I had the range to sing the whole song.
