I'm with Zurf; any lead part to any song ever.  Always thought it would be cool to play the intro to Crazy on You by Heart...never even tried.  I'd like to play the riff to Pretty Woman...might be able to do that one if I practiced.

welcome to the site hcullis!
someone much smarter than I will answer about fifth chords...something about only playing the first and fifth notes of a chord, sometimes the third.  Mostly used in rock / metal music--mostly on electric. 
I hate tabs--I think they have value for lead parts, but if you're just learning, I'd suggest just learning the chords.
And sweet child of mine, for the most part, is a lot of D C G...easy song...no barre chords--good one to learn if you're just starting out.  You can look up the whole thing in the song section.
I don't think I've been much help here--but welcome to the site!

OK, it's not a lyric, but I'll throw it out there anyway--Shakespeare's sonnet "My Mistress eyes are nothing like the sun"....talks about how imperfect she is...how normal she is, but she's still the most wonderful thing ever in his eyes.

My mistress' eyes are nothing like the sun;
Coral is far more red than her lips' red:
If snow be white, why then her breasts are dun;
If hairs be wires, black wires grow on her head.
I have seen roses damask'd, red and white,
But no such roses see I in her cheeks;
And in some perfumes is there more delight
Than in the breath that from my mistress reeks.
I love to hear her speak,--yet well I know
That music hath a far more pleasing sound;
I grant I never saw a goddess go,
My mistress when she walks, treads on the ground;
And yet, by heaven, I think my love as rare
As any she belied with false compare.

One of my favorite lines of all time is from a Milton sonnet---Milton had gone blind & was no longer able to look upon his love...but he could dream....and he would see her in his dreams....and then he would wake up....and this is the line;
"I woke, she fled, and the day braught back my night". 

I love that line...remember it from my college days....1983 to be exact.

OK, this doesn't answer the question, but SouthPaw, your lyric reminded me of this gem:
"You done stomped on my heart,
and mashed that sucker flat
baby you just sort-a
stomped on my aorta
You started steppin' out with guys
I felt us drift apart
and every step you took
was a stomp upon my heart".

So.....sad.......

I think I've broken a law; I've never even tried to play house of the rising sun...probably going to loose my chordie card over that one.
David, I tried Country Roads in the begining, but there is a Bm in the bridge that I couldn't do for three years. 
The first song I rememeber really working on was The River--Bruce Springsteen...I used to DREAM of playing it all the way through without messing up.
Leaving on a Jet Plane was one of my first as well.
Oh, and here's a confession--Highway 101 song that I love, "Whiskey, If you were a Woman"--a guy singing that song just isn't right, but I'd do it at the top of my lungs...as long as no one was listning.

I got this Zoom effects pedal, and I look down at it, click through some settings look all serious, then people really think I know what I'm doing.  I keep it on the same two stupid settings, but I'm always clicking the thing--a diversionary tactic to get their mind off my lack of skill.  "He's clicking the pedal...he MUST be good!".  Then I play a D , Dsus, D2 in rapid succession to really wow the crowd ("the crowd" consists of my two australian shepherds...actually only one sticks around, the other has no sense of music)

Bobbi is a good name....wasn't one of the Hee-Haw girls named Bobbi?....no, Barbie--Barbie Benton...man, there's a name from the past.
Just so you know, this line of thought took me to a "hee haw girls" google search--to find NAMES of course, not pictures.  No good possibilities...one of the girls was named Mackenzie--good name, but I don't know if it works for a guitar...

Alvee, I tried the wedgies, but because of the impression for your thumb, I got the sense that pick wasn't bending the same on the upstroke--I get one out of the "pick box" every now and then, but just can't get used to them.  I'm still stuck on the Tortex .58's...I think that is a dunlop product too.  Use a heavier one...the yellow one whatever that is, for my electric.  Has anyone tried the Ultex pics?  I like how they sound but the lightest .6 feels real stiff to me.  Think I'm going to try the Clayton pics because they come in this cammo pattern that looks pretty cool...hey, there's a good reason to buy 'em.
Dunlop has a lot of strong products I think--my favorite capo is a dunlop and I love it.  All my guitar cleaner / wax stuff is dunlop...good stuff.

OK, going to throw this out there--my friends don't like this, but I think it would be a great band name--a line from the 9 inch nails song "Hurt"...

Empire of Dirt

OK I said it.  Even if it doesn't work for a name, it's a great image.

I always thought you could come up with a good band name by starting with "Ministry of __________"

Ministry of Deception
Ministry of Thought
Minsistry of......I don't know, whatever you're into

new band called Red--End of Silence is their debut album.  Hard to clasify them; hard core / rock with some insustrial / alt / classical (they are not afraid of strings) thrown in for good measure. 
GuitarDoc--you need to play them through your fender cybertwin--the windows would shake my friend!

Gota do Monster Mash...it's the law.
It's in the Chordie Index...C F D I think.
What about the Adams Family theme song? That could work
