Sammy, take a look on youtube. Type in the song you want and you will find lots of people doing different variations of any song and usually there is at least one or two videos with someone teaching you how to play it. I wouldn't recommend it for sole learning purposes, this site is much better for that but you get lots of ideas.

For instance, I took what I had learned here with Chris on house of the rising sun which I had been practicing daily, then I went on youtube, watched the animals version of it which shows how he plays the song and there went the lightbulb. Now I practice the chord changes and pattern the way Chris shows it, but use the strumming/arpeggio pattern similar to the animals.

The net is a wonderful place and youtube is great for ideas about strumming and notes. Put this site and that together and it is like striking gold.
