What are some of the easiest songs to play on guitar?

I am good with chords, bad with tabs and I'm playing for a mixed audience (old and young) and need 60's and 70s rock, too.

Any suggestions and links that are worthwhile get at least a thumbs up from me!

    Helpless by Neil Young - three chords

    The Times They Are A'Changing by Bob Dylan - six chords

    When The Stars Go Blue by Ryan Adams - maybe seven chords

    Ramblin' Man by The Allman Brothers - VERY easy & fun to play

    Sweet Home Alabama by Lynyrd Skynyrd - also easy

    If You Could Read My Mind by Gordon Lightfoot - simple but you need to be able to fingerpick.

    Comes A Time by Neil Young - I think six chords, easy strum

    Thank You by Led Zeppelin - easy to play

    Any song chord site will provide you with more suggestions but, for a `60s and `70's crowd these should bring back some memories.

    All the best to you..........

    for the older people they would probably like..

    Can't you see by the marshall tucker band[4 chords through whole song]

    China grove by the doobie brothers

    save tonight by eagle eye cherry

    for the younger people

    second chance by shinedown

    if i could be like that by 3 doors down

    all these songs have chords all the way through[except china grove, i have only learned to play the intro, havent looked at the rest of the song, so idk]

    to get the song tabs go to www.ultimateguitar.com its a great site for any chords/tabs you will need. try to find a good version though. some are wrong.
