When I taught myself guitar back in the mid 1970's, I used songbooks. These were artist-specific like Eagles, Neil Young, Grateful Dead, Bob Dylan.
They had the notation for piano (treble and bass cleft) with lyrics in between and chord diagrams over the treble notation, corresponding to where the chord changes occur.
You don't have to be able to read music to use these songbooks. I don't know if these are still printed with the internet availability of everything now.
They worked for me because I knew how the songs were supposed to sound and I didn't have to flip between a lyrics page and a chord diagram sheet. And the same chords kept repeating from one song to another.
