Hey,
This one usually works for me:
Easter Bunnys Get Drunk At Easter ( as written by Akira)
although I first learnt it as:
Even After Dinner, Giant Boys Eat

Note the first letter of each of the above words...those are your strings:
EBGDAE

You have two E strings, one high E and one low...when we say high we dont mean high on your guitar (quite the opposite), we are talking about its sound

the first E (of EBGDAE) is the thinest string on your guitar, the B is your second thinnest (second from down) and so on...the fattest string (first from top) is the other E (which is your low E)

I would suggest you get yourself a good DVD or some other such material to learn the basics or if you can afford it take a few classes...otherwise it can get quite frustrating and you might leave this wonderful instrument without actually giving it a real shot.

Hope that helps.

Cheers,
Mag
