I Need To Find Some Easy Songs

Hi BiggySmallsAL. Welcome to Chordie..     Have you looked in the Public Books section..?   (you can find it in the pale blue tabs under the main logo)  Th'ere's lots of collections of easy songs & such in there. mine being in there somewhere!!  (Rachael's songbook)  I've too been playing just since May,  and have found heaps of 'easy'  songs to play.

Good luck & happy playing! 

Hello, BSA. FYI, there are thousands and thousands of easy 2 and 3 chord song out there waiting for you to learn. Some country, some rock n roll, some blues, some pop, some in whatever style of music that excites you. If you were only to learn only  1 chord progression (ie "G...C and D") you could play forever. (but this would get kinda boring after awhile). From one song to another the chords will remain the same (or very close) in structure with only the timing (beat) changing. Look thru the song's section here on Chordie and find something you like, print it out, find a recording of the song, listen and learn the beat and play along. If you are new at playing be sure to take things slow. Learn your chord progressions. learn how to transpose songs to different keys and most important learn how to make chord changes smoothly. If you learn these basics, first, it will cut down on the frustrations later. Think about how you want to play, do you want to be out front playing all the lead licks and riffs or do you want to be the heart of the song and play rythem? Believe me, without someone playing rythem and setting setting down the timing (along with drums, keyboard, etc) a lead guitarist will have  difficulties playing. Also, anyone singing will listen for the lead guitar but their singing will follow the rythem of the song. Figure out what / how you want to play. learn the chord progressions, learn scales and practice, practice, practice.

Drive  by REM
Wrapped Around Your Finger - Police
Where the Streets Have no Name - U2
Coconut Skins - Damien Rice
Not a Job - Elbow  (awesome band and song) 

All of these are easy to learn and give me the tingleys when playing them.

We've (I should say others have because despite my good intentions I have not yet participated) collected a beginners list that is pinned at the top of the forum where we talk about whatever's on our minds.  I don't recall the name of it right now, but it's the bottom forum in the list.  Grab your guitar and a pick, set aside some time, and take a cruise right through that message string.
