What was the 1st song you learned to play on guitar?

[wombat]

I think everyone misread the title of this thread

'Red River Valley' (Mel Bay)

The first song I played was something similar to this that I taught myself from a primer when I was ten years old.

After several such songs a man showed me my first real song. " Ghost Riders In The Sky."

Wipe Out by The Surfaris.
Learned it first on a ukulele while saving up to buy a guitar.
