and pretty much every nirvana and 70s punk song you can find is simple enough. Theres a poster that lists every chord i suggest getting that and practicing each chord.
EDIT: damnit beat me to it :P and yes it is hard as hell to learn, and it takes practice.

It's kind of like weighttraining in a way.........You're weak now, but the more you successfully accomplish each level, the stronger you get!!!Jam alot, man and don't ever give up on trying to play something that you like...
...The reason everybody tells you to start out simple is because it's fun and much more easier than playing amazing solos right off the bat!!!Plus your fingers need alot of training to develop the natural feel of a fretboard and, therefore, easily slide across the fretboard when needed.
The tip on starting simple is one of the best you should realize!!!
Just imagine someone that could benchpress only 250 lbs.Well, he keeps on training and soon benchpresses 275 lbs. advancing later on to 290, 300, 310, 320, etc...It takes time to be the "man", ya know?
The mentions of crazy train, etc...are good simple riffs to learn, just don't try any of randy rhoads or tony iommi's solo's yet, ya hear?
If you're in tune, crazy train is pretty simple and you'll be starting on the A string..............I believe the main riff goes something like this:
(A string)2-2 2 2 2 5-4-5 5-4-0
4 5 4 2 2
Yes, I am mainly a drummer, but I've also played guitar before and recommend trying out riffs like that because they are somewhat simple!!!
Here's another one (E String) that you'd wanna try:
"Come As You Are"-Nirvana.
(E String)0-0-1-2 2 2-2-1-0 0-0 0-1-2
0 0 2 2
Give it a shot, man!!!Happy NewYear, cheers!!!
Well, they came out fukked up, but you should learn quickly and know how to play them soon, peace!!!
