Here's a few songs Caspian, depends what you like though, you should be able to just google for the tabs

Chasing Cars - Snow Patrol
We are the Waiting - Green Day
Horse with no name - America
Come as you are - Nirvana
Bad Moon Rising - Creedence Clearwater Revival
Breakfast at Tiffanys - Deep Blue Something
WonderWall - Oasis
Feel like Makin' love - Bad Company
Mull of Kintyre - Wings

If you want to do a bit of picking try Scarborough Fair - Simon and Garfunkel and check out Kirks lessons on here these will put you on the right track.

All the best

Chris
