Can anyone help me find some good 3 chord songs?

Hi guys, (and gals)

I love all the information I've found on this site, but I've had a hard time finding real basic "if you don't know anything about music this'll get you started" kind of stuff. I was looking all over here and at CigarBoxNation for like a list of songs that use just I, IV and V chords, something that would just get me started, and I haven't seen anything like that anywhere.

So, I'm trying to put together a list of songs for CBG that are all I, IV, and V chords over at http://101cigarboxguitarsongs.weebly.com. (No, this is not shameless self-promotion; I really do need help finding good songs that work well on CBGs.) If you have a favorite *public domain* song you'd be willing to share - or an original work you'd like to see posted - please message me. I will give full credit for your contribution, plus I'll link back to your site or youtube channel.

Thanks,

Michael

Alright, now I've got 20+ songs up on my site, now I can show what I was talking about, and what I was asking for re: songs in I, IV, V format. See how I've got 'em laid out at

I do plan to put up 101 songs; it just might take awhile. But what I'm hoping to do is to put together something for the absolute beginner, or for the buyer who's never played guitar before, that we can say, "Oh, if you just want to get started playing some songs, check out this site. Everything's arranged specifically for cigar box guitars and it's super easy to understand."

That's what I'm aiming for; whether or not that's what I have right now, I don't know. It's still a little confusing and haphazard looking to me, so I probably need to work on it some more.

Any feedback, comments, criticism is welcome (as long as it's not "Hey, you, go to Hell." That kind of stuff just hurts my feelings...)
