Don't start with songs, start with chords.  If you learn to transition cleanly between the following chord progressions, you can play hundreds of songs using them.  These are the foundation of what we call "three chord ditties."

C F G

A D E

G C D

E A B

D G A


I'd start with D G A,  G C D,  or A D E as those can be played completely in open form (meaning you won't need to barre).


And practice.  A lot.

Someday we'll win this thing...
