A lot of Guster songs use a capo if you are into them. Wonderwall by Oasis is also an easy song that uses a capo.

Free Fallin' by Tom Petty. Capo at the 3rd fret and it's a simple little D-G-D-A progression, if I remember correctly.

Lots of Iron & Wine is capoed, and his songs are a good way to excercise different finger-picking patterns too.
