I can't think of any modern simple songs, but you might find these chord sequences interesting and usefull:

G...Eminor...C...D

D...Bminor...G..A

C...Aminor...F...G..........They will crop up time and time again.

The song that the kid was playing to was ground control to major tom, by David Bowie.

It was...on a slightly out of tune guitar...

"Space Oddity" by Bowie another good one to try.

Also, look into some of The Beatles' music as they lend themselves to being played with easy strumming patterns, (although the original itself might not be). "Norweigen Wood" and "Twist And Shout" come to mind...

There's tonnes of songs out there, I just can't think of them at this very moment....damn this forgetful mind of mine!

The rhythm guitar part to ramblin' Man by the Allman brothers has a fairly easy strumming pattern. Its all C G, and D chords basically, if i remember right.
