ohhhhhhhhh i know what you mean me too! haha im teaching myself.
well there's accidentaly in love by counting crows. it's cool to rock out too once you get the transitions on lol.
go to ultimate guitar.com
and go to the chords version of it.

Knocking on heavens door;
The chords
G then D then C, go back to G with an open string strumming upwards,
repeat with alternating A minor intstead of C,
G D C ....G D A- ....G D C ....
This was my first ever song I played when learning, (still am)

Good luck its really easy

I'm in pretty much that exact same positon, and I like "Hurricane" by Jonah Werner. The base is only three power chords that repeat throughout the whole song with some optional improvising in E major or minor, can't remember which, though. Look it up. It's a very very good song, sad and uplifting at the same time.

Those magic changes
CCCCCCC
AAAA minor
FFFFFF
GGGG7
grease =)
50s songs are the best

1-3-5-3-1

The magic progression. In Open G : G-B-D-B-G. In C: C-E-G-E-C.

"Wild Thing" and "Louie Louie" are only the most famous songs to use this. There are tons and tons more.
