John Prine is a good example of fingerpicking. Simple cords with some fingerpicking, easy lyrics if you want ones to sing too.

I'm more of a flatpicker myself but these two were pretty easy to work out with the fingers.
Orange Blossom Special - Johnny Cash
Tears In Heaven - Clapton
Then you have the classics like Greensleeves and House of the Rising Sun.

Before there was "Blackbird", "Classical Gas" was the GC acoustic solo of choise.Take a listen to Chester and Lester, some of the standards they play can be approached by the rest of us pickers.

Enjoy,

... by Simon and Garfunkel. Paul Simon picks this with all five fingers but it can be done with three...

Babe I'm Gonna Leave by Zep is always a good one, as someone suggested. Also, Landslide by Fleetwood MAc.

How about going highbrow? Pachelbel Canon in D Major maybe? The tempo is a little slower,gives the rest of the right hand a chance to come out to play.Left hand for you if I remember correctly :wink:
