What are some easy to learn acoustic guitar songs?

I am learning guitar but I want to learn a nice song that's not too hard. Something that has only 3-5 chords most of the song. Any ideas?

Of course, free guitar lessons probably won’t get you all the way to where you want to be. For that you’re going to have to pay for something a little more professional.

   I would start using guitar tabs and build up to chords. Tabs use numbers counting from the top of the neck down. Here's an example:

   The chords E, F, and G:

   e|—0—1—3—
   B|—0—1—0—
   G|—1—2—0—
   D|—2—3—0—
   A|—2—3—2—
   E|—0—1—3—
   E F G

   Sure. Try "Ball and Chain" by Social Distortion. The entire song is (I'm assuming it's in the key of D): D, A, G, D

   Also, "What I Got" by Sublime is even easier. It's a constant D to G chord progression.

   Good luck!
