If you really just picked up a bass, don't try to learn complete Iron Maiden songs. (some riff are easy tho, so try some;))
What type of music do you like? It's much more fun to learn a song from a band you like.

When i started, i remember learning some Red hot chili peppers song. They are groovy, easy to learn (standard tuning) and they will make you practice some basic techniques.
Check out these songs : "Snow" and "Californication".
