Why not try Come Up and See Me by Steve Harley and the Cockney Rebel. The intro sounds cool, but is piss to play, everyone knows the song, you don't need to be able to sing (fuck me, Steve Harley can't!) and it's good fun to play too.

As an added bonus, the solo is sort of tricky AND playable on an acoustic guitar, so you can show off :)

Another one to try might be No One Knows by QotSA. There are a few decent tabs about, but the timing is a pain in the arse to get right.

No One Knows is a bit of a difficult song tbfh. :p

It's fun to play on bass though!

the timing is 6/8? it's not exactly rocket science.

time signatures are something that more people should learn thoroughly when learning guitar to be honest. learning songs in anything but 4/4 can really open up your playing in terms of writing songs.
