Staple songs to learn in DADGAD?
So I keep hearing about this new alternative tuning that apparently can be used for a lot of songs, so I tried my guitar in this setting... And am getting bored quickly as I obviously know no chords for it... Can someone please recommend me some fun, simple, DADGAD songs to get me started? Are there any that have vocal accompaniment as I lean towards singer songwriter style rather than fingerstyle?
Thank you.

I was going to suggest Doug Young's lovely arrangement of Shenandoah. He had tablature for this on his web site the last I looked. This would be fingerstyle though.
Someone posted a link to a PDF file with a DADGAD chord chart sometime in the last few months or so. A search might bring this up.

More great tunes in DADGAD:
Davy Graham - who actually invented DADGAD in an attempt to get an Arabic oud-like sound: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=76Yvw_ZztQk (Ouds are actually tuned quite differently, but look what he started...) John Martyn: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FonNSNB3kxI http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mk8OsZESTxg Dick Gaughan: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vZ7oYCx6tBw http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PInNrFZQEwk

The amazing Al Petteway has some wonderful DADGAD instrumentals. Among my favorite in DADGAD is "A Waltz for Rebecca". UTube versions are around so you can check them out.
