My Repertoire for Guitar

I'm not gonna front like people are constantly asking me to play songs on my guitar. Actually, the most common request I get is "Turn it down and close the door" from my sisters. But when others do venture to request that I play a song, it's usually something I don't know, have never heard of and/or requires a skill level that I have not yet reached. So, to solve this problem (at least, for my Facebook friends) here is a list of songs I can play. I can't guarantee that I'll perform them flawlessly, but feel free to ask me to play these anytime. I'm always open to suggestions for new songs to learn (just don't expect it too quickly). Also, I can't sing and play guitar at the same time, so you're out of luck there.
