It would really help if you told us what sort of music your tryin to play :P
if its acoustic, try "Sitting waiting Wishing" by jack johnson just to start out with. its full of easy chords that just take a little time to nail propperly.

if its more rock influenced then try "seven nation army" by white stripes. that song will teach you power chords.

I taught my self to play guitar and am still playing 10 years on. i started out by tryin to make simple tunes on one string, then got adventurous and used 2 strings. then started to learn chords by learning my favorite songs. but for gods sake go for somthing slow and a little easy other wise youll just get bored of not being able to do it.

PS, have my homepage to the guitar website that started me on guitar.

I dont know a website, but I do know a little about music. Not much about guitar, but I know my way around the staff
Ok, so I hope you know- a chord is made up of notes. So, if you actually want to know exactly what's in the chord you're playing, than learn notes first. If you want to play complex songs, learn notes, because not everything is a chord.
Personaly, I would try to find lessons. It's easier having someone point out your mistakes as you learn
Sorry I don't know much about guitars, but hope I helped
