All normal chords. Is that like E, EM, E7, A, A7, D, D7, G and so on?

A suggestion I always give to acoustic players I mentor is...

A Horse With No Name

Catchy, enough variety in it to work your hands a tad.

Not really rock, though.

I really wish that we'd just make organic hardware already, that grows and adapts to the demands it needs to meet. That way, grannies' computers can be floppy sacks of organicness and the 12 year old Minecrafters will look like the guys that only do bicep curls, and the nerdy programmers will finally have justice, with their body-builder rigs that skipped leg day.

It's probably not your style however it's basic. Check Kina Grannis on Youtube, she one of the most amazing vocalists & guitarist.

Play Smells Like Teen Spirit, it's good enough on acoustic.

 

Tears Don't Fall (Acoustic) by Bullet For My Valentine might be good too.

it needs to be 60's or 70's

60's-70's, OP said. I'd agree though.

you can play every pop song made in the last 14 years easily, seeing as they only use 5 accords.. search youtube for vids of people playing all of them in a row without changing how they play :P

This x1000.

Easy enough and everyone will know it.

Also sounds killer.

60's-70's, not pop songs of the past 14 years :P ...

any reason it has to be 60-70s? songs with basic chords are basically are the same with different strumming patterns.

I'd like to note that with Carryon My Wayward Son, I like to play the piano part as well, even if it's just the chords and not individual notes. But I'm usually playing it for people at a party or something that are screaming the lyrics, and pianos aren't that portable unless you want to bring a keyboard, but I'm not gonna play both at once :P

No, just like E, G, C, like that, but i can do a few power chords too.

Chords with numbers next to them are usually just variations.

Whole Lotta Love by Led Zep is good.
