So there are many more sources of music without notation than the OP thought. The internet is rife with them too.
My question is, if you want to play something but can't remember how it all goes, what do you do? Listen to it dozens of times until you have it memorized. Or you could just read the music. If you are asked to play something at a gig and haven't played it in forever, how do you pull it off? Notation works nice for that too. You learn how to read writing in first grade and you were not afraid to learn it. Simple notation with just the melody line is no harder. Don't get me wrong, playing by memory is great, and very handy too. But at some point everyone runs out of hard drive space in your mind. You can't add more. You can forget some things to make space for new.

Reading music is noise
For those that can barely (me) read music.
Reading music is noise. Chords and familiarity with the melody work for me to get the job done. MGF

I would recommend "The Daily Ukulele" books (I believe there are 2 volumes). The volume I have has 365 songs, all on one page (sometimes 2 to a page), and it has chords and a simple melody line. Includes all kinds of music -- pop, rock, traditional, oldies, religious, etc. We used it in ukulele class (which I did for a while) and I have grabbed many songs that I play on guitar from it.
While I absolutely understand the desire for simple chords and nothing else, you will enhance your guitar playing and singing just by learning very basic music theory (like simple notation, melody lines, etc). Just search "basic music theory" online and you'll find tons of easy lessons, and/or buy any (Mel Bay is a good one) "Guitar Method Grade 1" book. Even if you only make it thru half the book you will learn a lot about basic musical notation, melody, where notes are on the guitar, etc. Well worth the effort ! Enjoy your musical journey !! Cheers!

In the case of "Tears in Heaven" for a contrasting example, there are well-know recordings. Some guitarists and many listeners are going to want to sound like the record. Simple chord charts are then assuming that those who want to sound like the record will listen to the record and follow that groove using their ear and knowledge.

No Musical Notes But Want Chord Patterns
Sometimes, musical notes and chord patterns are the same thing.
If you are given chords but musical notes aren't given. Then, I guess you will have to figure out the musical notes. Sometimes, you can't have your cake and eat it too.  MGF

LeDave, have a look at the Word or PDF version of “Songbook Lite” on my website. You’ll find over 750 songs all in one document, across several genres, and each one is keyed/capo’d to match a recording (link included) of the song so you can play along and get the strumming pattern down. Completely free.
