I was in the same place about a week or so ago.

Grey Street is easy to play but singing with it is the hard part, at least for me.

The Song that Jane Likes is my fav song to play right now. It's extremely easy as long as you can play the barred F.

SMTS is also easy but i would say that STJL is your best bet. Just listen to an acoustic version of it and get the rhythm down. I love it :)

My first(very very recently) was Proudest Monkey.I can also play EWU intro, I just got my first guitar tuesday so I think Im doing pretty well. Looking at SMTS, Im not doing THAT well. Still hard for me. Looking at Diggin Ditch now.

#41 using:

Intro
E:------------------3-------------------
B:---1-----3-------3-----3--3----3----
G:---2-----4-------0-----x--0h4--x----
D:---2-----4-------2-----4--x----0h4--
A:---0-----2-------------5--5----5------
E:----------------0----------------------

Instead of the way Dave plays it (though the hammer-ons can be a little tricky at first) using standard chords for the chorus as well.
