cille! you're soooo doing it the wrong way round. It's soo boring learning chords and then having to search for songs which use them. PenguinBoy reccomends you just find simple songs, and then learn the chords in order to try and play the songs.
Music before theory say I.

see, i've tried your approach at least a couple of timesd and it's sooooo the wrong approach for me! i tend to get too frustrated about everything that i CAN'T do, it's better for me to keep it simple and take 1 baby step at the time. so for the time being, i'm sticking with good old A E D and G and concentrate on being able to shift chords on time (gosh! that G chord sure takes some time to put together every time; YES! you may call me 'slowhand'
).

yessssssss'ah! that's the kind of stuff i'm looking for. it's of course not the most brilliant song in the world, but it is lovely to find new ways of combining my few chords and excersising (sp?) my fingers in this new way.
