Acoustic guitar with steel strings or nylon (spanish guitar) ?
Also, do you wanna play only or actually sing while playing ?

Great, it's somewhat the easiest, unless you can't multi-task at all and stay on the beat.

Here is a picture of some basics

Loads of songs are built with easy chords progression but you could encouter some hard strumming patterns (right hand move, ie. Down ~ down up ~ up down up).

Feel free to google : Strumming pattern (videos) & chord dictionary (pics)


Some easy stuff to start with :


The Cramberries - Zombie / Ode to my family / When you're gone
Evanescence - My immortal acoustic version (warning, Barred may be hard @ beginning)
Georges Harrisson - While my guitar gently weeps
Cat Stevens - Sad Lisa
Outcast - Hey ya
Bob Marley - No woman no cry
The beatles - Let it be
The animals - House of the rising sun
Nirvana - Polly

Just find out free tablatures/sheet music, most of the time chords to play are fully displayed.

Or, of course, if you're left-handed:
