Popular easy songs
A search on the internet will reveal that one of the easiest songs to play is "Horse With No Name" which uses only two easy chords. Once you have spent some time with your first song, you will want to widen your repertoire. I suggest "House Of The Rising Sun" and "California Dreamin'" which both use the C D E F E E7 and Am chords.
Another way to search for free easy guitar tabs is by musical genre. Try looking on the internet for country songs or twelve bar blues songs. You should really have a basic familiarity with how twelve bar blues music works anyway as it is the basis of many great songs.
