Any strumming songs are pretty easy – Such as Twinkle, Twinkle, O Canada, Hot Cross Buns, Rolling Along, etc.
If you were thinking of an actual song try Hey There Delilah. It was the first real song I learned on the guitar.
If you don’t know how to read the chord diagrams above:
The 6 lines represent the 6 strings of the guitar
The numbers represent the fret position where you place your fingers (X means don’t play that string, 0 means play that string open).
For help seeing where the chords fit in the vocal melody, try here:

Look up scales. They’re boring as crap, but help in the long run.

If you’re starting lessons next week you might as well wait so that you don’t start to develop bad habits.
