I strongly second this. Learning to read tabs is very simple, and a powerful tool when you first start out, although applying those tabs to accompanying chords can be tough at times if you don't know the correct finger placement.

Once you get the basic gist of reading tabs, type in '"name of song" talbature' into google, and get your learn on.

FWIW, first song I was ever taught was Every Rose Has Its Thorn. (Because he didn't think I'd ever be able to play anything else)

- Smoke on the Water is the prototypical first song to learn.

- AC/DC pretty much reuses the same chords over and over, so they're good to start with as well.
