The only problem is that I don't have any idea what to play.

Classical Gas - Mason Williams
Needle and the damage done - Neil Young
Dust in the wind - Kansas
Black Mountain Side - Led Zep
Wish You Were Here - Pink Floyd

Acoustic #3 by the Goo Goo Dolls is nice.
Sammy or Capo, there should be a pinned topic that has a list of 'good acoustic songs' in it.

how good are you at acoustic stuff?
That'll be the phone by Don Ross is a good song and not too terribly hard to learn. Michael Hedges has some flashy technical stuff. go to http://www.rootwitch.com there's tabs for most of his songs and videos on how to play some of the more advanced stuff. Also check out some Leo Kottke songs if your into slide fingerstyle.
If you're looking for easier stuff learn Classical Gas. I played that at a talent show and won.

Yes, it will. I don't have that one, but I have a couple tunes she did I tabbed for my daughter. Not note-for-note to her recordings, but in her style.

Hehe.. I listened to acoustic #3 and looked at the notes (or tabs) and got it in five minutes or something like that 
It's not the hardest song to play out there

but its ur choice

Yeah, it's the kind of song that you can listen to once and have down five minutes later. Like I said, it isn't difficult nor is it intended to be. Play some Ani DiFranco if you're looking for technical difficulty combined with wonderfully bitter lyrics - utterly mad fingerstyle accompaniments, gloriously punky folk. Try 'Out of Range' or 'Anticipate'.
