Let It be- The Beatles
Redemption Song- Bob Marley
Wish You Were Here- Pink Floyd
Chocolate- Snow Patrol
Brown Eyed Girl- Van Morrison
there are many, many more. It all depends on what kind of music you want to play... listen around, if you hear something that sounds easy it probably is, search it on chordie and learn to play it!

Re: easy chord & strumm song?
How about this 'Whole Wide World' by Wreckless Eric, it's an old punk song and works well on acoustic and electric. Only two chords, so the tension comes from how you strum; tickling the top strings on the verses and then letting rip on the chorus, you could even put a fuzz pedal in there, leave it off on the verse and then whammy it in for the chorus riff.

Re: easy chord & strumm song?
first song that i ever learnt was are you gonna be my girl. there is only like four chords.
I'm interested in anything about revolt, disorder, chaos, especially activity that appears to have no meaning. It seems to me to be the road toward freedom.

NZ,
Go out and spend $30 on a nice metronome. It will help you with your strumming and timing. Strumming is nothing more than keeping the beat in a measure, while changing chords. Strumming can be done differently on every song. It depends if a song calls for you strumming 1/4 note, 1/8 note or 1/16 note. Before you learn about strumming, spend some time and learn about timing. This will help you greatly on your strumming.

Re: easy chord & strumm song?
You may be better off getting a cheap drum machine NZ, just make sure it has plenty of presets for rock and pop, so you don't end up spending all your time programming drums (thataway is the long slippery slope into dance music ;-) ! ).
I can say from personal experience playing along with a drum track smartens up your timing alot. Also some rock tracks that sound a bit wrong with just guitar come alive when there's drums pounding away. 'Don't Bring Me Down' by ELO comes to mind, it needs a pounding beat to happen ('Modern Rock Drums 1' on Garageband - the apple mac software).
