guitar tyro

[Rich D]

I'm not a guitarist, no experience, but I'd
like to learn to strum chords for a few folk
songs, to play for myself or friends (to accompany
a chorus). For instance, "This land is your land", stuff like that.
or "Wreck of the Edmund Gitzgerald", one of my faves -

So I'm not interested in "learning to play the guitar",
in the usual sense. My question is, if I attempt this,
how much time should I budget per song?

I can read piano music, but doubtful that's much help -
