What should I play on my new guitar?

I acquired an acoustic guitar a few weeks ago and have relearned some chords. I have googled a bit and can now play:

Twinkle Twinkle Little Star
Puff the Magic Dragon
Everybody Hurts
Blowing in the Wind

I like the idea of sitting round a campfire and whipping out my guitar for a singalong

Obviously I need to expand my repertoire. So, what should I learn to play? (I can't do F or B chords or anything complicated!)

Links would be helpful & much appreciated

Something from musicals? Calamity Jane?

I am very by the way!

Hmm, musicals, perhaps.

I've found American Pie and This little Light of mine so am learning more songs. It's amazing what one can play with only 6 chords

I used to have a Tracey Chapman book that was wriiten in tablature (is that the right word)?
They were only a few chords
I bet there's loads of old 2nd hand guitar books about

There's plenty of performers built a career on a few chords

Go to youtube and look up guitar lessons - you'll find loads!
(I am currently learning the ukulele this way. It's great fun. Have only been at it for about a month and can already play Tiny Dancer, Natural Woman, Hallelujah, Daniel (Elton John), With a Little Help from my Friends. NB I am a musician already, so I did have a bit of an advantage, but have never learned a stringed instrument before).
