April Come she will, Scarborough fair, the boxer, by Simon and Garfunkel
Forget about the reasons and the treasons we are seeking
Forget about the notion that our emotions can be swept away, kept at bay
Forget about being guilty, we are innocent instead
For soon we will all find our lives swept away

I love Townes Van Zandt's version of Dead Flowers by the Rollings Stones. Great fingerpicking.

Also a lot of John Prine songs, Hello In There, Six O Clock News, etc...

The first one being a staple of any fingerpicking lesson.

Learn how to travis pick first and you'll be able to apply that technique to a host of songs and even compose your own.
